This study explores loop corrections to primordial perturbations in inflationary models, focusing on the transition from quantum fluctuations to classical perturbations. Researchers Yuko Urakawa and Kei-ichi Maeda from Waseda University examine the effective actions in closed time path formalism and stochastic gravity. The work addresses the evolution of scalar fields and tensor perturbations, analyzing the impact of non-linear quantum effects and their implications for observable quantities in inflationary cosmology. The findings include insights on the evolution of gravitational fields and the significance of amplitudes in fluctuations.
