Description

I will show that primordial quantum diffusion unavoidably generates non-Gaussian, exponential tails in the distribution of inflationary perturbations. This type of non-Gaussianity cannot be captured by the usual perturbative parametrisations, and it leaves specific imprints on the statistics of cosmic structures that I will discuss.
