Abstract

The primordial perturbations will inevitably generate higher order perturbations. We study the second order scalar perturbations generated by the primordial curvature and tensor perturbations in the radiation-dominated era. After presenting all the possible second-order source terms, we obtain the explicit expressions of the kernel functions and the power spectra of the second order scalar perturbations. The contributions from the initial second-order perturbations are considered. We calculate the power spectra of second order scalar perturbations for different tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$.
