More on the Non-Gaussianity of Perturbations in a Nonminimal Inflationary Model by R. Shojaee, K. Nozari, F. Darabi

“…By expansion of the action up to the third order, we focus on the nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity of perturbations in comparison with recent observational data. By adopting an inflation potential of the form V(ϕ)=1/nλϕn, we show that, for n=4, for instance, this extended model is consistent with observation if 0.013<λ<0.095 in appropriate units. …”
