✦ Synopsis

One consitlcrs tlic birth and evolution of scalar and tensor gauge-invariant perturbations in "generalized inflationary models", that is cosmological models with a suitable early phase of accelerated expansion. I n this framc the classical analysis that BARDEEN e t al. performed for the standard de Sitter inflation is extended t o a more general context.
