22 Conclusions: Curvaton provides a simple non-adiabatic model for origin of structure Local non-gaussianity ( f NL >1) requires non-adiabatic model but, non-adiabatic model does not require significant non-gaussianity Tensor-scalar ratio bounds inflation energy scale, not ε Quadratic curvaton well-described by simplest local f NL n 0.96 requires large-field inflation, ε 0.0 Many variants self-interactions (τ NL and g NL still small) curvaton+inflaton (τ NL could be large, scale-dependent f NL ) Many potential observables: trispectrum, isocurvature (bi)spectra, large-scale power modulation
