The Matter Bounce Alternative to Inflationary Cosmology (2012, background): “The corresponding theory is called the “theory of cosmological perturbations” (see [22] for an in-depth survey and [23] for an overview).”
Bouncing Cosmologies: Progress and Problems (2016, background): “fr Assuming that the perturbations begin as quantum vacuum fluctuations [2] deep inside the Hubble radius, one can compute the amplitude of the resulting fluctuations today [2] (see [5, 6] for reviews of the theory of cosmological perturbations).”

Nonsingular cosmology with a scale-invariant spectrum of cosmological perturbations from Lee-Wick theory (2008, background): “We begin by writing the metric including cosmological fluctuations in longitudinal gauge, assuming that there is no anisotropic stress (see [32] for a comprehensive discussion of the theory of cosmological perturbations and [33] for a briefer survey)”

Introduction to Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetime and the Hawking Effect (2003, background): “Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation support the notion that the origin of primordial perturbations lies in the quantum fluctuations of scalar and tensor metric modes (see [27] for a recent review and [28] for a classic reference.”
Towards a nonsingular bouncing cosmology (2012, methodology): “The mean square mass fluctuations in a sphere of radius R are given in terms of the k’th momentum mode (with k = aR−1) multiplied by the phase space factor k(3) in the following way (see [33])”
Issues in the Philosophy of Cosmology (2006, methodology): “e to distinguish between methods aimed at determining the properties of the background (zeroth order) FL model directly, and those aimed at determining properties of the perturbations of these models [215].
