Cosmological perturbations in FRW model with scalar field within Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and symplectic projector method

Abstract

The Hamilton-Jacobi analysis is applied to the dynamics of the scalar fluctuations about the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric. The gauge conditions are determined from the consistency conditions. The physical degrees of freedom of the model are obtained by the symplectic projector method. The role of the linearly dependent Hamiltonians and the gauge variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism is discussed.
