Primordial non-Gaussianities in the Intergalactic Medium
We present results from the first high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of nonGaussian cosmological models. We focus on the statistical properties of the transmitted Lyman-α flux in the high redshift intergalactic medium. Imprints of non-Gaussianity are present and are larger at high redshifts. Differences larger than 20% at z > 3 in the flux probability distribution function for high tran...
متن کاملPrimordial non-Gaussianities in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity
We address the issue of the origins of the primordial fluctuations is the Cosmic Microwave Background spectrum, the “seeds” of the Universe. We review the history of the discovery and the origins of the CMB and explain the questions surrounding it. We move on to consider famous cosmological “puzzles”, which served as an inspiration for the theory of Inflation, reviewed subsequently. We discuss ...
متن کاملPrimordial perturbations and non-Gaussianities from modulated trapping
We propose a new mechanism to generate primordial curvature perturbations, based on the resonant production of particles during inflation. It is known that this phenomenon can trap the inflaton for a fraction of e-fold. This effect is governed by the mass of the produced particles and by their coupling to the inflaton, parameters which can depend on the expectation value of other fields. If one...
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 کاملNon-Gaussianities in New Ekpyrotic Cosmology.
The new ekpyrotic model is an alternative scenario of the early Universe which relies on a phase of slow contraction before the big bang. We calculate the 3-point and 4-point correlation functions of primordial density perturbations and find a generically large non-Gaussian signal, just below the current sensitivity level of cosmic microwave background experiments. This is in contrast with slow...
