The Trispectrum in the Multi-brid Inflation

Abstract

The trispectrum is at least as important as the bispectrum and its size can be characterized by two parameters $\tau_{NL}$ and $g_{NL}$. In this short paper, we focus on the Multi-brid inflation, in particular the two-brid inflation model in arXiv.0805.0974, and find that $\tau_{NL}$ is always positive and roughly equals to $({6\over 5}f_{NL})^2$ for the low scale inflation, but $g_{NL}$ can be negative or positive and its order of magnitude can be the same as that of $\tau_{NL}$ or even larger
