25. The precise relationship between S and T and the inflaton potential depends upon the background cosmological model; see M.S. Turner and M. White, Phys. Rev. D 53, 6822 (1996).
26. The values used in this paper are for flw=0.35 and 0-4 = 0.65. For flji/=l, the relation is the more familiar TIS=-lnT. The relationship between n, nT and T/S and the actual quantities observed in CMB measurements is discussed in more detail in A. Kosowsky and M.S. Turner, ibid. 52, 1739 (1995).
27. In models where there is more than one active field during inflation or inflation is driven by non-standard kinetic terms, the relation is also modified; see E.D. Stewart and J.D. Cohn, ibid. 63, 083519 (2001) and C. Armendariz-Picon, T. Damour, and V. Mukhanov, Phys. Lett. B 458, 209 (1999)
28. It had been conjectured that for many models T/S-4 -5(n - 1). There are, however, many exceptions to this; see R. Davis etal., Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1856 (1992);

33. These equations apply to models where one field with a standard kinetic term (or one that can be put in canonical form) is dynamical during inflation, which includes the vast majority of the models discussed in the literature
