Abstract

In this chapter, adapting Eq. (5.5) to the primordial non-Gaussianity in two scalars and a graviton correlation [1], we compute the CMB scalar-scalar-tensor bispectrum. This discussion is based on our paper [2].

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, \(\zeta \) and \(\gamma _{ab}\) are equivalent to \({\fancyscript{R}}\) and \(h_{ab}\) in Eq. (2.13), respectively.

  2. 2.

    For \(c_{s *} = 1\), these results are identical to Eqs. (2.30) and (2.31).

  3. 3.

    Equations (3.14) and (3.21) in Ref. [2] include typos.

  4. 4.

    The CMB bispectra generated from the two scalars and a graviton correlator in Figs. 6.2 and 6.3 become slightly smaller than those in Ref. [2] due to the accuracy enhancement of the numerical calculation.
