Investigating Isocurvature Perturbations and non-Gaussianities in a Two-Field System with Generalised Kinetic Terms

The physics of the very early universe is well described by the inflationary paradigm, a period of accelerated expansion of the universe driven by vacuum energy. Quantum fluctuations give rise to curvature perturbations that act as the seed for large-scal e structure. One of the simplest models o...
