CMB contraints on primordial non-Gaussianity from the bispectrum (f{sub NL}) and trispectrum (g{sub NL} and {tau}{sub NL}) and a new consistency test of single-field inflation

Journal Article Smidt, Joseph ; Amblard, Alexandre ; Cooray, Asantha ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We outline the expected constraints on non-Gaussianity from the cosmic microwave background with current and future experiments, focusing on both the third (f{sub NL}) and fourth-order (g{sub NL} and {tau}{sub NL}) amplitudes of the local configuration or non-Gaussianity. The experimental focus is the skewness (two-to-one) and kurtosis (two-to-two and three-to-one) power spectra from weighted maps. In addition to a measurement of {tau}{sub NL} and g{sub NL} with WMAP 5-year data, our study provides the first forecasts for future constraints on g{sub NL}. We describe how these statistics can be corrected for the mask and cut-sky through a window function, bypassingmore »« less

Impact of secondary non-Gaussianities on the search for primordial non-Gaussianity with CMB maps

Journal Article Serra, Paolo ; Cooray, Asantha - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

When constraining the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter f{sub NL} with cosmic microwave background anisotropy maps, the bias resulting from the covariance between primordial non-Gaussianity and secondary non-Gaussianities to the estimator of f{sub NL} is generally assumed to be negligible. We show that this assumption may not hold when attempting to measure the primordial non-Gaussianity out to angular scales below a few tens arcminutes with an experiment like Planck, especially if the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter is around the minimum detectability level with f{sub NL} between 5 and 10. In the future, it will be necessary to jointly estimate the combined primordial andmore »« less

Scale-dependent bias from the primordial non-Gaussianity with a Gaussian-squared field

Journal Article Yokoyama, Shuichiro - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We investigate the halo bias in the case where the primordial curvature fluctuations, Φ, are sourced from both a Gaussian random field and a Gaussian-squared field, as Φ(x) = φ(x)+ψ(x){sup 2}−(ψ(x){sup 2}ångle, so-called ''ungaussiton model''. We employ the peak-background split formula and find a new scale-dependence in the halo bias induced from the Gaussian-squared field.

Primordial non-Gaussianities in single field inflationary models with non-trivial initial states

Journal Article Bahrami, Sina ; Flanagan, Éanna É., E-mail: sb933@cornell.edu, E-mail: eef3@cornell.edu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We compute the non-Gaussianities that arise in single field, slow roll inflationary models arising from arbitrary homogeneous initial states, as well as subleading contributions to the power spectrum. Non Bunch-Davies vacuum initial states can arise if the transition to the single field, slow roll inflation phase occurs only shortly before observable modes left the horizon. They can also arise from new physics at high energies that has been integrated out. Our general result for the bispectrum exhibits several features that were previously seen in special cases.
