Non-Gaussianity Unleashed    [PDF]

Jonathan S. Horner, Carlo R. Contaldi
The Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) approach for exploring inflationary trajectories is employed in the generation of generalised inflationary non-Gaussian signals arising from single field inflation. Scale dependent solutions for $f_{NL}$ are determined via the numerical integration of the three--point function in the curvature perturbation. This allows the full exploration of single field inflationary dynamics in the out-of-slow-roll regime and opens up the possibility of using future observations of non-Gaussianity to constraint the inflationary potential using model-independent methods. The distribution of `equilateral' $f_{NL}$ arising from single field inflation with both canonical and non-canonical kinetic terms are show as an example of the application of this procedure.
