Other inflationary perturbations<br />

Multi-field models.<br />

Perturbations in additional fields can give rise to isocurvature<br />

perturbations, depending on how inflationary degrees <strong>of</strong> freedom map to<br />

post-inflationary ones. Non-gaussianity also possible but requires tuning.<br />

Non-standard kinetic terms (eg DBI fields)<br />

These can give a small perturbation sound speed, leading to large nongaussianity.<br />

Might arise naturally in string theories.<br />

Generating perturbations after inflation: post-process<br />

perturbations acquired in a different field.
