Hello everyone,
I know this is a very basic question but I was wondering, in the context of inflation, what does it mean to have gaussian or non-gaussian fluctuations.
First of all, are we talking about the fluctuations of the inflation?
Second of all, how is the nature of the fluctuations related to the mechanism of inflation, say e.g. the inflaton potential?
Thanks!
