Non-Gaussian isocurvature perturbations from inflation
Abstract
We present a class of very simple inflationary models of two scalar fields which leads to non-Gaussian isothermal perturbations with a {open_quotes}blue{close_quotes} spectrum, n{gt}1. One of the models is inspired by supersymmetric theories where light scalar fields naturally acquire masses {approximately}H during inflation. Another model presumes that one of the fields has a nonminimal interaction with gravity {xi}R{sigma}{sup 2}. By a slight modification of parameters of these models one can obtain either Gaussian isothermal perturbations, or non-Gaussian adiabatic perturbations with n{gt}1. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
