Description
I will summarize key results from a series of 4 papers in collaboration
with Dick Bond and Jonathan Braden: (1) Relating stochastic inflation to
the results of state-of-the-art lattice simulations, complete with
component separation of nonGaussianity; (2) Spatial localization of
primordial intermittent nonGaussianity (pinGs) and the statistics of
rare events; (3) The role of outlier trajectories (ponGs) in the
generation of pinGs; and (4) The graviational wave response and their
nonlinear correlation to an associated scalar nonGaussian signal, unlike
the classical zero-point fluctuation r case.
