Primordial Non-Gaussianity from G-inflation
arXiv:2012.06960 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2021/04/045
Abstract
Enormous information about interactions is contained in the non-Gaussianities of the primordial curvature perturbations, which are essential to break the degeneracy of inflationary models. We study the primordial bispectra for G-inflation models predicting both sharp and broad peaks in the primordial scalar power spectrum. We calculate the non-Gaussianity parameter in the equilateral limit and squeezed limit numerically, and confirm that the consistency relation holds in these models. Even though becomes large at the scales before the power spectrum reaches the peak and the scales where there are wiggles in the power spectrum, it remains to be small at the peak scales. Therefore, the contributions of non-Gaussianity to the scalar induced secondary gravitational waves and primordial black hole abundance are expected to be negligible.
