dc.descriptionThe linear cosmological perturbation theory of almost homogeneous and isotropic perfect fluid and scalar field universes is reconsidered and formally simplified. Using the existence of a covariant conserved quantity on large perturbation scales, a closed integral expression for comoving energy density perturbations is obtained for arbitrary equations of state. On this basis we establish a simple relation between fluid energy density perturbations at `reentry' into the horizon and the corresponding scalar field quantities at the first Hubble scale crossing during an early de Sitter phase of a standard inflationary scenario.
