Primordial Non-Gaussianity in Multi-Scalar Inflation

Yokoyama, Shuichiro, Suyama, Teruaki, Tanaka, Takahiro

Understand

We give a concise formula for the non-Gaussianity of the primordial curvature perturbation generated on super-horizon scales in multi-scalar inflation model without assuming slow-roll conditions.

  • This is an extension of our previous work.
  • Using this formula, we study the generation of non-Gaussianity for the double inflation models in which the slow-roll conditions are temporarily violated after horizon exit, and we show that the non-linear parameter $f_{NL}$ for such models is suppressed by the slow-roll parameters evaluated at the time of horizon exit.
