Abstract
Approximate
de Sitter symmetry of inflating Universe is responsible for
the approximate flatness of
the power spectrum of scalar perturbations. However, this
is not the only option. Another symmetry which can explain nearly
scale-invariant power spectrum is conformal invariance. We give a
short review of models based on conformal symmetry which lead to
the scale-invariant spectrum of the scalar perturbations. We discuss also
potentially observable features of these models.
