The Komatsu Spergel Wandelt estimator for oscillations in the cosmic microwave background bispectrum

M. Münchmeyer, F. Bouchet, M. Jackson +1

Oscillating shapes of the primordial bispectrum are present in many inflationary models. The Planck experiment has recently published measurements of oscillating shapes, which were…

A Consistency Relation for Single-Field Inflation with Power Spectrum Oscillations

Mark G. Jackson, Gary Shiu

We derive a theoretical upper bound on the oscillation frequency in the scalar perturbation power spectrum of single-field inflation. Oscillations are most naturally produced by mo…

Angular Correlation Functions for Models with Logarithmic Oscillations

Mark G. Jackson, Ben Wandelt, François Bouchet

There exist several theoretical motivations for primordial correlation functions (such as the power spectrum) to contain oscillations as a logarithmic function of comoving momentum…

Integrating out Heavy Fields in Inflation

Mark G. Jackson

I present the procedure for integrating out quantum fields whose mass M is well above the Hubble scale H in de Sitter space. The effective interaction and density matrix are explic…

Model-Independent Signatures of New Physics in non-Gaussianity

Mark G. Jackson, Koenraad Schalm

We compute the model-independent contributions to the primordial bispectrum and trispectrum in de Sitter space due to high-energy physics. We do this by coupling a light inflaton t…
