Non-gaussianity from the bispectrum in general multiple field inflation

Arroja, Frederico, Mizuno, Shuntaro, Koyama, Kazuya

Understand

We study the non-gaussianity from the bispectrum in multi-field inflation models with a general kinetic term.

  • The models include the multi-field K-inflation and the multi-field Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) inflation as special cases.
  • We find that, in general, the sound speeds for the adiabatic and entropy perturbations are different and they can be smaller than 1.
  • Then the non-gaussianity can be enhanced.
