摘要
We observe that the equation of motion for a free scalar field in a closed universe with radiation and a positive cosmological constant is given by Lame's equation. Computing the exact power spectrum of scalar field perturbations, the presence of both curvature and radiation produces a red tilt weakly dependent on the amount of radiation.
