Description

I will review recent progress to address the generation of primordial non-Gaussianity during cosmic inflation. I will focus my attention on the origin of non-Gaussian signals that are poorly parametrized by the bispectrum (the three-point function). Such non-Gaussian deformations of the statistics may be crucial to understand the generation of primordial black holes, and necessarily require non-perturbative techniques taking into account every n-point function.
