Gravitational wave background from superinflation in loop quantum cosmology

2009 
We investigate the behavior of tensor fluctuations in Loop Quantum Cosmology, focusing on a class of scaling solutions which admit a near scale-invariant scalar field power spectrum. We obtain the spectral index of the gravitational field perturbations, and find a strong blue tilt in the power spectrum with n{sub t}{approx_equal}2. The amplitude of tensor modes are, therefore, suppressed by many orders of magnitude on large scales compared to those predicted by the standard inflationary scenario where n{sub t}{approx_equal}0.
