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 f NL related to generic features in the inflationary potential? (b) How sensitive is f NL 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 f NL at the adiabatic limit? We summarise recent results obtained by the authors and further elucidate them by considering an inflection point model.
