abstract
We consider curvaton models with potentials that depart slightly from the quadratic form. We show that although such a small departure does not modify significantly the Gaussian part of the curvature perturbation, it can have a pronounced effect on the level of non-Gaussianity. We find that unlike in the quadratic case, the limit of small non-Gaussianity, $|f_{NL}|\ll1$, is quite possible even with small curvaton energy density $r\ll1$ . Furthermore, non-Gaussianity does not imply any strict bounds on $r$ but the bounds depend on the assumptions about the higher order terms in the curvaton potential.

Memoirs of the curvaton: non-perturbative non-Gaussianity and supermassive primordial black holes
Curvaton self-interactions in non-quadratic potentials produce a local non-Gaussian map that enables supermassive primordial black hole formation at peak amplitudes of order 10^{-5} while remaining consistent with μ-d...

How Well Do We Know the Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves?
Non-Gaussian curvature perturbations, related to Gaussian ones by a logarithmic mapping, can make the scalar-induced gravitational wave background much larger or smaller than the standard quadratic calculation predicts.

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 produ...
