We revisit the calculation of quantum-gravitational corrections to the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations in the Born-Oppenheimer approach to quantum gravity. We focus on the issue of the definition of the inner product of the theory and the unitarity of the corrections to the dynamics of the cosmological perturbations. We argue that the correction terms are unitary, provided the inner product is defined in a suitable way, which can be related to a notion of gauge-fixing the time variable and the use of conditional probabilities in quantum cosmology. We compare the corrections obtained within this framework to earlier results in the literature and we conclude with some remarks on the physical interpretation of the correction terms.

Cosmological perturbations meet Wheeler DeWitt
The semiclassical Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunction matches the perturbation-theory wavefunction of cosmology up to a specific phase and normalization, verified in exponential-potential and slow-roll mini-superspace models.
