David J. Mulryne, David Seery, Daniel Wesley

摘要:

提出了一种计算暴胀过程中超视界演化产生的原初非高斯性的新方法。我们的方法演变的粗粒膨胀场值的分布使用的传输方程。我们提出了简单的演化方程的时刻,这种分布,如方差和偏度。该方法具有一些优于现有技术。其中,它干净地分离了原始非高斯性的多个来源,并且与流行的替代方案(如“delta N”框架)相比,计算效率更高。我们举出的数值计算表明,我们的新方法提供了良好的协议与文献中已经。我们专注于两个领域和fNL参数,但我们希望我们的方法将推广到多个标量场和任意高阶的时刻。我们提出了我们的表达式在一个领域空间的协变形式,我们假设是有效的任何数量的字段。

英文摘要:

We present a novel method for calculating the primordial non-Gaussianity produced by super-horizon evolution during inflation. Our method evolves the distribution of coarse-grained inflationary field values using a transport equation. We present simple evolution equations for the moments of this distribution, such as the variance and skewness. This method possesses some advantages over existing techniques. Among them, it cleanly separates multiple sources of primordial non-Gaussianity, and is computationally efficient when compared with popular alternatives, such as the "delta N" framework. We adduce numerical calculations demonstrating that our new method offers good agreement with those already in the literature. We focus on two fields and the fNL parameter, but we expect our method will generalize to multiple scalar fields and to moments of arbitrarily high order. We present our expressions in a field-space covariant form which we postulate to be valid for any number of fields.
