Cosmological observables in multi-field inflation with a non-flat field space [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.0654


Using $\delta N$ formalism, in the context of a generic multi-field inflation driven on a non-flat field space background, we revisit the analytic expressions of the various cosmological observables such as scalar/tensor power spectra, scalar/tensor spectral tilts, non-Gaussianity parameters, tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the various runnings of these observables. Utilizing the subsequent analytic expressions for various cosmological observables, in the light of PLANCK results, we examine for the compatibility of the consistency relations within the slow-roll regime of a two-field roulette poly-instanton inflation realized in the context of large volume scenarios.
