Non-Gaussianity in two-field inflation

We derive semianalytic formulas for the local bispectrum and trispectrum from general two-field inflation and provide a simple geometric recipe for building observationally allowed models with large non-Gaussianity. We use the δN formalism to express the bispectrum in terms of spectral observables a...
