Trispectrum versus bispectrum in single-field inflation
In the standard slow-roll inflationary cosmology, quantum fluctuations in a single field, the inflaton, generate approximately Gaussian primordial density perturbations. At present, the bispectrum and trispectrum of the density perturbations have not been observed and the probability distribution for these perturbations is consistent with Gaussianity. However, Planck satellite data will bring a...
متن کاملBispectrum in Single-Field Inflation Beyond Slow-Roll
We develop an integral form for the bispectrum in general single-field inflation whose domain of validity includes models of inflation where the background evolution is not constrained to be slowly varying everywhere. Our integral form preserves the squeezed-limit consistency relation, allows for fast evaluation of the bispectrum for all triangle configurations expediting the efficient comparis...
متن کاملObservational Constraints on Inflation Models with Nonminimal Scalar Field
The power spectra of the scalarand tensor-type structures generated in an inflation model based on nonminimally coupled scalar field are derived. The contributions of these structures to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation are derived, and are compared with the four year COBE DMR data. The constraints on the ratio of the self-coupling and nonmimimal coupling constants, t...
متن کاملConstraints on Inflation Models from Supersymmetry Breakings
Effects of soft SUSY-breaking terms on inflation potentials are discussed. There exist generic constraints that must be satisfied in order not for the inflaton potential to loose its flatness. We examine explicitly the constraints in the case of a hybrid inflation model and find that the coupling constant λ between the inflaton and the “waterfall-direction” field is bounded as 2.0 × 10−6 ∼ λ. T...
متن کاملOn non-gaussianities in single-field inflation
We study the impact of higher dimension operators in the inflaton Lagrangian on the non-gaussianity of the scalar spectrum. These terms can strongly enhance the effect without spoiling slow-roll, though it is difficult to exceed fNL ∼ 1, because the scale which suppresses the operators cannot be too low, if we want the effective field theory description to make sense. In particular we explicitl...
