abstract
We study an anisotropic inflation model with a gauge kinetic function for a non-abelian gauge field. We find that, in contrast to abelian models, the anisotropy can be either a prolate or an oblate type, which could lead to a different prediction from abelian models for the statistical anisotropy in the power spectrum of cosmological fluctuations. During a reheating phase, we find chaotic behaviour of the non-abelian gauge field which is caused by the nonlinear self-coupling of the gauge field. We compute a Lyapunov exponent of the chaos which turns out to be uncorrelated with the anisotropy.

Inflation with vector fields revisited: non-Gaussianities
In kinetically coupled vector inflation, the bispectrum in the large-h regime exhibits competing local and flattened non-Gaussian signals with distinct h scalings that distinguish vector-supported dynamics.
