چکیده
Gravitational interferometers and cosmological observations of the cosmic microwave background offer us prospect to probe laws gravity in primordial universe. To study interpret these datasets we need know possible graviton non-Gaussianities. this end, derive most general tree-level three-point functions (bispectra) for a massless all orders derivatives, assuming scale invariance. Instead working with explicit Lagrangians, take bootstrap approach obtain our results using recently derived constraints from unitarity, locality choice vacuum. Since make no assumptions about de Sitter boosts, capture phenomenology large classes models such as effective field theory inflation solid inflation. We present formulae infinite number parity-even bispectra. Remarkably, parity-odd bispectra, show that unitarity allows only handful shapes: three graviton-graviton-graviton, scalar-graviton-graviton one scalar-scalar-graviton, which explicitly. These non-Gaussianities can be large, example inflation, therefore constitute concrete well-motivated target future observations.

Large Non-Gaussianities in Single Field Inflation
We compute the 3-point correlation function for a general model of inflation driven by a single, minimally coupled scalar field. Our approach is based on the numerical evaluation of both the perturbation equations and the integrals which contribute to the 3-point function. Consequently, we can analyze models where the potential has a “feature”, in the vicinity of which the slow roll parameters ...
متن کاملThe Inflationary Trispectrum for Models with Large Non - Gaussianities
We compute the leading order contribution to the four-point function of the primordial curvature perturbation in a class of single field models where the inflationary Lagrangian is a general function of the inflaton and its first derivative. This class of models includes string motivated inflationary models such as DBI inflation. We find that the trispectrum for some range of parameters could p...

متن کاملThe shape of non-Gaussianities
We study the dependence on configuration in momentum space of the primordial 3-point function of density perturbations in several different scenarios: standard slow-roll inflation, curvaton and variable decay models, ghost inflation, models with higher derivative operators and the DBI model of inflation. We define a cosine between the distributions using a measure based on the ability of experi...
متن کاملNon-linear isocurvature perturbations and non-Gaussianities
We study non-linear primordial adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations and their non-Gaussianity. After giving a general formulation in the context of an extended δN formalism, we analyse in detail two illustrative examples. The first is a mixed curvaton-inflaton scenario in which fluctuations of both the inflaton and a curvaton (a light isocurvature field during inflation) contribute to the p...
