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 consider small-field models which invoke the usual framework for the effective field theory, and large-field models which go beyond that. Present and future possibilities for discriminating between the models are assessed, on the assumption that the primordial curvature perturbation is generated during inflation. With PLANCK data, the theoretical and observational uncertainties on the spectral index will be comparable, providing useful discrimination between small-field models. Further discrimination between models may come later through the tensor fraction, the running of the spectral index and non-gaussianity. The prediction for the trispectrum in a generic multi-field inflation model is given for the first time.

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.
