Non–gaussian Fluctuations from Textures
One of the most powerful tools to probe the existence of cosmic defects in the early universe is through the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. It is well known that computations with causal sources are more involved than the adiabatic counterparts based on inflation, and this fact has in part hampered the development of fine detailed predictions. Analytical modeling, while necessaril...
متن کاملNon–Gaussian Primordial Fluctuations in Inflationary Cosmology
We analyze the non–Gaussian primordial fluctuations which are inescapably contributed by scalar fields Φ with vanishing expectation values, 〈Φ〉 = 0, present during inflation in addition to the inflaton field. For simplicity we take Φ to be non–interacting and minimally coupled to gravity. Φ is a Gaussian variable, but the energy density fluctuations contributed by such a field are χ–distributed...
متن کاملGenerating Non-Gaussian Adiabatic Fluctuations from Inflation
As the quality of cosmological data continue to improve, it is natural to test the statistics of primordial fluctuations: are they Gaussian or non-Gaussian? I review a model which generates non-Gaussian adiabatic fluctuations from inflation. Current investigations suggest that there may possibly be a non-Gaussian signal in large angle cosmic microwave background anisotropy data. Statistics of m...
متن کاملLog-amplitude statistics of non-Gaussian fluctuations
To quantify heavy-tailed distributions observed in financial time series, we propose a general method to characterize symmetric non-Gaussian distributions. In our approach, an observed time series is assumed to be described by the multiplication of Gaussian and amplitude random variables, where the amplitude variable describes fluctuations of the standard deviation. Based on this framework, it ...
متن کاملBistability and non-Gaussian fluctuations in spontaneous cortical activity.
The brain is widely assumed to be a paradigmatic example of a complex, self-organizing system. As such, it should exhibit the classic hallmarks of nonlinearity, multistability, and "nondiffusivity" (large coherent fluctuations). Surprisingly, at least at the very large scale of neocortical dynamics, there is little empirical evidence to support this, and hence most computational and methodologi...
