A Bound Concerning Primordial Non-Gaussianity

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

Seery and Lidsey have calculated the three-point correlator of the light scalar fields, a few Hubble times after horizon exit during inflation. Lyth and Rodriguez have calculated the contribution of this correlator to the three-point correlator of the primordial curvature perturbation. We calculate an upper bound on that contribution, showing that it is too small ever to be observable.
