Primordial Gaussianity from inflation• Quantum fluctuations from inflation
– ground state of simple harmonic oscillator– almost free field in almost de Sitter space– almost scale-invariant and almost Gaussian
• Power spectra probe background dynamics (H, , ...)
– but, many different models, can produce similar power spectra
• Higher-order correlations can distinguish different models
– non-Gaussianity non-linearity interactions = physics+gravity

Many shapes for primordial bispectra• local type (Komatsu&Spergel 2001)
– local in real space– max for squeezed triangles: k<<k’,k’’
• equilateral type (Creminelli et al 2005)– peaks for k1~k2~k3
• orthogonal type (Senatore et al 2009)– independent of local + equilateral shapes
• separable basis (Ferguson et al 2008)

non-Gaussianity from inflation?• single-field slow-roll inflaton
– during conventional slow-roll inflation– adiabatic perturbations
=> constant on large scales => more generally:
• sub-Hubble interactions– e.g. DBI inflation, Galileon fields...
• super-Hubble evolution– non-adiabatic perturbations during multi-field inflation
=> constant• see talks this afternoon by Emery & Kidani
– at/after end of inflation (curvaton, modulated reheating, etc)• e.g., curvaton

Non-Gaussian outlook:• Great potential for discovery
– detection of primordial non-Gaussianity would kill textbook single-field slow-roll inflation models
– requires multiple fields and/or unconventional physics• Scope for more theoretical ideas
– infinite variety of non-Gaussianity– new theoretical models require new optimal (and sub-optimal)
estimators• More data coming
– Planck (early 2013) + large-scale structure surveys • Non-Gaussianity will be detected
– non-linear physics inevitably generates non-Gaussianity– need to disentangle primordial and generated non-Gaussianity
