Primordial non-Guassianity in inflation with gravitationally enhanced friction

Abstract

The gravitationally enhanced friction can reduce the speed of the inflaton to realize an ultra-slow-roll inflation, which will amplify the curvature perturbations. The amplified perturbations can generate a sizable amount of primordial black holes (PBHs) and induce simultaneously a significant background gravitational waves (SIGWs). In this paper, we investigate the primordial non-Gaussianity of the curvature perturbations in the inflation with gravitationally enhanced friction. We find that when the gravitationally enhanced friction plays a role in the inflationary dynamics, the non-Gaussianity is noticeably larger than that from the standard slow-roll inflation. During the regime in which the power spectrum of the curvature perturbations is around its peak, the non-Gaussianity parameter changes from negative to positive. When the power spectrum is at its maximum, the non-Gaussianity parameter is near zero ($\sim \mathcal{O}(0.01)$). Furthermore, the primordial non-Gaussianity promotes the formation of PBHs, while its effect on SIGWs is negligible.
