Thus, all problems share same origin
a|H| is decreasing
Thus, the solution is
in a period of early universe,
a|H| increases with time.

2 、 How to have a scale invariant primordial perturbation
However,
with the “curvaton” mechanism
in principle, the perturbation can be scale invariant for arbitrary evolutions.
It is applied earlier in Veneziano et.al“Pre Big Bang”.

How to distinguish inflation and its alternatives ?
When the perturbation is Gaussian, |f_NL|<1,inflation is the simplest scenario of early universe.
When there is the tensor perturbation inflation is the simplest scenario of early universe.

However, it is large, r>1.
Appendix How to have completely same scalar and tensor perturbation ?
The scalar and tensor perturbation are conformal invariant.
i.e. in conformal related frames, the results obtained are same.

Inflation “might” be the simplest scenario of early universe. Identifying it is a challenging issue.
There are many things to do.
