General Single Field Inflation with Large Positive Non - Gaussianity
Recent analysis of the WMAP three year data reveals f local NL ≃ 86.8 in the WMAP convention. It is necessary to make sure whether general single field inflation can produce a large positive fNL before turning to other scenarios. We give some examples to generate a large positive f equil NL in general single field inflation. Our models are different from ghost inflation. Due to the appearance o...
متن کاملMulti-field Inflation with a Random Potential
Motivated by the possibility of inflation in the cosmic landscape, which may be approximated by a complicated potential, we study the density perturbations in multi-field inflation with a random potential. The random potential causes the inflaton to undergo a Brownian motion with a drift in the D-dimensional field space, allowing the entropic perturbation modes to continuously and randomly feed...
متن کاملNon-Gaussianity in Multi-field Stochastic Inflation with the Scaling Approximation
Abstract. The statistics of multi-field inflation are investigated using the stochastic approach. We analytically obtain the probability distribution function of fields with the scaling approximation by extending the previous work by Amendola. The nonGaussian nature of the probability distribution function is investigated decomposing the fields into the adiabatic and isocurvature components. We...
متن کاملMulti-scale Random Field Models
We introduce a class of multi-scale models for random fields. The novel framework couples standard Markov models for the random field stochastic process at different levels of resolution, and links them via error models to induce a new and rich class of structured linear models reconciling modelling and information at different levels of resolution. Jeffrey’s rule of conditioning is used to rev...
متن کاملA geometric description of the non-Gaussianity generated at the end of multi-field inflation
In this paper we mainly focus on the curvature perturbation generated at the end of multi-field inflation, such as the multi-brid inflation. Since the curvature perturbation is produced on the super-horizon scale, the bispectrum and trispectrum have a local shape. The size of bispectrum is measured by fNL and the trispectrum is characterized by two parameters τNL and gNL. For simplicity, the tr...
