Perturbative unitarity in quasi-single field inflation

Abstract We study implications of perturbative unitarity for quasi-single field inflation with the inflaton and one massive scalar. Analyzing high energy scattering, we show that non-Gaussianities with |f NL| ≳ 1 cannot be realized without turning on interactions which violate unitarity at a high en...
