33 Contents Introduction In-in formalism on tunneling background Bispectrum from open inflation Conclusion
34 Conclusions p We have calculated the bispectrum from open inflation, where quantum tunneling from false vacuum triggers slow-roll inflation p Open inflation gives complete description of our part of universe, and is partially motivated by string landscape p The leading order bispectrum is same as the flat case and the correction appears in higher order in the sub-curvature approx. p High-momentum cut-off makes the known enhancement due to non-bunch Davies vacuum exponentially suppressed p This is the first calculation of bispectrum from open inflation and we are working on more general cases (with D. Yamauchi, T. Tanaka, and M. Sasaki)
