    Large Local Non-Gaussianity from General Single-field Inflation

    Full text link
    We investigate the non-Gaussian signatures of ultra slow-roll inflation. The bispectrum and the trispectrum are calculated with general initial conditions. The trispectrum is of local shape, as in the case of the bispectrum. We show that the prediction of local non-Gaussianity is robust again generalizing the Bunch-Davies vacuum. The Suyama-Yamaguchi relation is saturated in this scenario.Comment: 5 pages, one figur

    Complete bounded λ\lambda-hypersurfaces in the weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the complete bounded λ\lambda-hypersurfaces in weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow. Firstly, we investigate the volume comparison theorem of complete bounded λ\lambda-hypersurfaces with Aα|A|\leq\alpha and get some applications of the volume comparison theorem. Secondly, we consider the relation among λ\lambda, extrinsic radius kk, intrinsic diameter dd, and dimension nn of the complete λ\lambda-hypersurface, and we obtain some estimates for the intrinsic diameter and the extrinsic radius. At last, we get some topological properties of the bounded λ\lambda-hypersurface with some natural and general restrictions
