Supercurvaton
Abstract
We discuss observational consequences of the curvaton scenario, which naturally appears in the context of the simplest model of chaotic inflation in supergravity. The non-gaussianity parameter fNL in this scenario can take values in the observationally interesting range from O(10) to O(100). These values may be different in different parts of the universe. The regions where fNL is particularly large form a curvaton web resembling a net of thick domain walls, strings, or global monopoles.
