Primordial power spectra for curved inflating universes

Exact numerical primordial primordial power spectra are computed and plotted for the for the best-fit Planck 2018 curved universe parameters. It is found that the spectra have generic cut-offs and oscillations within the observable window for the level of curvature allowed by current CMB measurements and provide a better fit to current data. Derivations for the Mukhanov-Sasaki equation for curved universes are presented and analysed, and theoretical implications for the quantum and classical initial conditions for inflation are discussed within the curved regime.
