A scaling symmetry in a class of two-field inflation models naturally produces a massless isocurvature field whose self-interactions are suppressed, making primordial non-Gaussianity slow-roll suppressed but with a squeezed limit different from single-field inflation.

abstract
We study the evolution of non-Gaussianity in multiple-field inflationary models, focusing on three fundamental questions: (a) How is the sign and peak magnitude of the non-linearity parameter fNL related to generic features in the inflationary potential? (b) How sensitive is fNL to the process by which an adiabatic limit is reached, where the curvature perturbation becomes conserved? (c) For a given model, what is the appropriate tool -- analytic or numerical -- to calculate fNL at the adiabatic limit? We summarise recent results obtained by the authors and further elucidate them by considering an inflection point model.

Origin of ultra-light fields during inflation and their suppressed non-Gaussianity
A scaling symmetry in a class of two-field inflation models naturally produces a massless isocurvature field whose self-interactions are suppressed, making primordial non-Gaussianity slow-roll suppressed but with a squeezed limit different from single-field inflation.
