Abstract

We compute the power spectrum ζ and non-linear parameters fNL and τNL of the curvature perturbation induced during inflation by the electromagnetic fields in the kinetic coupling model (IFF model). By using the observational result of ζ,fNL and τNL reported by the Planck collaboration, we study the constraint on the model comprehensively. Interestingly, if the single slow-rolling inflaton is responsible for the observed ζ, the constraint from τNL is most stringent. We also find a general relationship between fNL and τNL generated in this model. Even if fNL ∼ (1), a detectable τNL can be produced.
