abstract
A recent variant of the inflationary paradigm is that the ``primordial'' curvature perturbations come from quantum fluctuations of a scalar field, subdominant and effectively massless during inflation, called the ``curvaton'', instead of the fluctuations of the inflaton field. We consider the situation where the primordial curvature perturbations generated by the quantum fluctuations of an inflaton and of a curvaton field are of the same order of magnitude. We compute the curvature perturbation and its spectrum in this case and we discuss the observational consequences.

Tilt and Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio in Multi-Scalar Field Inflation: Non-Sum-Separable Case
A two-field chaotic inflation model with a kinetic-potential coupling can in principle lower ns and r, but the paper's analytic formulas miscompute the correction and its quoted parameter ranges are fitted rather than predicted.
