We calculate the trispectrum of curvature perturbations for a model of inflation endowed with Galilean symmetry at the level of the fluctuations around an FRWbackground. Such a model has been shown to posses desirable properties such as non-renormalization of the leading operators. The cubic curvature fluctuations of this model produce quite distinct signatures at the level of the bispectrum. Our analysis shows how this holds true at higher order in perturbations. We provide a detailed study of the trispectrum shape-functions in different configurations and a comparison with existent literature. Most notably, predictions markedly differ from their P(X, φ) counterpart in the so called equilateral trispectrum configuration.

Abstract
We calculate the trispectrum of curvature perturbations for a model of inflation endowed with Galilean symmetry at the level of the fluctuations around an FRWbackground. Such a model has been shown to posses desirable properties such as non-renormalization of the leading operators. The cubic curvature fluctuations of this model produce quite distinct signatures at the level of the bispectrum. Our analysis shows how this holds true at higher order in perturbations. We provide a detailed study of the trispectrum shape-functions in different configurations and a comparison with existent literature. Most notably, predictions markedly differ from their P(X, φ) counterpart in the so called equilateral trispectrum configuration.Pubblicazioni consigliate
