abstract
We study the possibility that cosmological density perturbations are generated by the inhomogeneous decay of right-handed neutrinos. This will occur if a scalar field whose fluctuations are created during inflation is coupled to the neutrino sector. Robust predictions of the model are a detectable level of non-Gaussianity and, if standard leptogenesis is the source of the baryon asymmetry, a baryon isocurvature perturbations at the level of the present experimental constraints.

Curvaton distribution from stochastic inflation
Closed-form probability distributions for the curvature perturbation are derived for four exactly solvable curvaton potentials, and the mass-decay-rate parameter space is split into regions by the probability of producing 10% to 100% of the observed signal.
