We calculate the back reaction of cosmological perturbations on a general relativistic variable which measures the local expansion rate of the Universe. Specifically, we consider a cosmological model in which matter is described by a single field. We analyze back reaction both in a matter dominated Universe and in a phase of scalar field-driven chaotic inflation. In both cases, we find that the leading infrared terms contributing to the back reaction vanish when the local expansion rate is measured at a fixed value of the matter field which is used as a clock, whereas they do not appear to vanish if the expansion rate is evaluated at a fixed value of the background time. We discuss possible implications for more realistic models with a more complicated matter sector.

  1. Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    A shear-free locally FLRW lattice framework for single-field inflation captures spatially varying expansion, curvature corrections, and nonlinear δN observables at a fraction of the cost of full numerical relativity.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tensor-induced backreaction in ultra-slow-roll inflation limits the drop of the first slow-roll parameter and suppresses the curvature power spectrum peak from roughly 10^-3 to about 4x10^-6, strongly reducing primord...

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The uniform-density gauge 2EMT matches the comoving gauge in the strict infrared, separates at finite gradient order, and acquires a 1/epsilon and 1/sigma_2^2 enhancement in the ultraviolet from the slowly evolving de...

  4. Cancellation of one-parameter graviton gauge dependence in the effective scalar field equation in de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Gauge dependence cancels in the one-loop effective scalar equation in de Sitter when all diagram contributions including external mode corrections are collected.

  5. Resummations for Inflationary Quantum Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Secular logarithms from inflationary graviton loops can be resummed by combining a modified stochastic formalism with a modified renormalization group, though the pure-gravity sector remains incomplete.
