Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the non-Guassianity originated from the -vacuum on the CMB anisotropy. For -vacuum, there exist correlation between points in the acausal two patches of de Sitter spactime. Such kind of correlation can lead to large local form non-Guassianity in -vacuum. For the single field slow-roll inflationary scenario, the spacetime is in a quasi-de Sitter phase during the inflation. We will show that the -vacuum in this case will lead to non-Gaussianity with distinguished feature, of a large local form and a very different shape.
