Abstract
The simplest interpretation of the Bicep2 result is that the scalar primordial power spectrum is slightly suppressed at large scales. These models result in a large tensor-to-scalar ratio . In this work we show that the type of inflationary trajectory favoured by Bicep2 also leads to a larger non-Gaussian signal at large scales, roughly an order of magnitude larger than a standard slow-roll trajectory.
