The inflationary prediction for primordial non-gaussianity
read the original abstract
We extend the \delta N formalism so that it gives all of the stochastic properties of the primordial curvature perturbation \zeta if the initial field perturbations are gaussian. The calculation requires only the knowledge of some family of unperturbed universes. A formula is given for the normalisation \fnl of the bispectrum of \zeta, which is the main signal of non-gaussianity. Examples of the use of the formula are given, and its relation to cosmological perturbation theory is explained.

Cosmological long-wavelength solutions in non-adiabatic multi-fluid systems
Nonlinear long-wavelength solutions are constructed for cosmological perturbations in non-adiabatic multi-fluid systems, admitting adiabatic and entropy modes at leading order via ADM and gradient expansion.

Curvaton-assisted hilltop inflation
Curvaton coupling relaxes initial tuning in hilltop inflation and revives the sub-Planckian quartic model while remaining consistent with cosmological observations.
