Halo clustering with nonlocal non-Gaussianity
1 We show how the peak-background split (PBS) can be generalized to predict the effect of nonlocal primordial non-Gaussianity on the clustering of halos. Our approach is applicable to arbitrary primordial bispectra. We show that the scale dependence of halo clustering predicted in the peak-background split agrees with that of the local-biasing model on large scales. On smaller scales, k * 0:01h...
متن کاملNon-Gaussianity from Instant and Tachyonic Preheating
We study non-Gaussianity in two distinct models of preheating: instant and tachyonic. In instant preheating non-Gaussianity is sourced by the local terms generated through the coupled perturbations of the two scalar fields. We find that the non-Gaussianity parameter is given by f NL ∼ 2g < O(1), where g is a coupling constant, so that instant preheating is unlikely to be constrained by WMAP or ...
متن کاملPrimordial Non-Gaussianities of General Multiple Field Inflation
We perform a general study of the primordial scalar non-Gaussianities in multi-field inflationary models in Einstein gravity. We consider models governed by a Lagrangian which is a general function of the scalar fields and their first-order spacetime derivatives. We use δN formalism to relate scalar fields and the curvature perturbations. We calculate the explicit cubic-order perturbative actio...
متن کاملHilltop Non - Gaussianity
We study non-Gaussianity induced by a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson with a cosine-type scalar potential. We focus on how the non-Gaussianity is affected when the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson rolls down from near the top of the scalar potential where the deviation from a quadratic potential is large. We find that the resultant non-Gaussianity is similar to that obtained in the quadratic potential...
