摘要
We compute the scale dependence of f(NL), for models of multi-field inflation, allowing for an arbitrary field space metric. We show that, in addition to multi-field effects and self-interactions, the curved field space metric provides another source of scale dependence, which arises from the field-space Riemann curvature tensor and its derivatives. The scale dependence may be detectable within the near future if the amplitude of f(NL) is not too far from the current observational bounds. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved,
