Stochastic tunneling for strongly non-Gaussian inflationary theories
Andrew J. Tolley, Mark Wyman
We reconsider the dynamics of stochastic or thermal tunneling in theories like Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation that have non-minimal kinetic terms and, as a result, strongly non-Gaussi…

Primordial non-gaussianity, statistics of collapsed objects, and the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect
Niayesh Afshordi, Andrew J. Tolley
Any hint of non-gaussianity in the cosmological initial conditions will provide us with a unique window into the physics of early universe. We show that the impact of a small local…

Stochastic Inflation Revisited: Non-Slow Roll Statistics and DBI Inflation
Andrew J. Tolley, Mark Wyman
Stochastic inflation describes the global structure of the inflationary universe by modeling the super-Hubble dynamics as a system of matter fields coupled to gravity where the sub…
