Abstract

We present a method for constructing gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations which are gauge-invariant up to second order. As an example, we give the gauge-invariant definition of the second-order curvature perturbation on uniform density hypersurfaces. Using only the energy conservation equation, we show that this curvature perturbation is conserved at second order on large scales for adiabatic perturbations.
