Inflationary bispectrum from symmetry and locality. †Jason Kristiano †Abstract: Inflationary bispectrum was first derived by Maldacena in his famous paper [1]. Recently, inspired by the development of scattering amplitude in the particle physics community, some cosmologists are trying to derive inflationary bispectrum, or generally higher-point function, by only considering symmetries of cosmological perturbations. First, Nima Arkani-Hamed et. al. [2] successfully derived inflationary bispectrum by only using slightly broken de-Sitter space isometries. However, inflation generally breaks de-Sitter isometries, either small or large. For that motivation, Enrico Pajer et.al. [3-5] introduced a new bootstrap method without assuming de-Sitter isometries. In this seminar, I will review his method and compare the advantages and disadvantages to the previous one. References: |
