Non-Gaussianity <strong>from</strong> Gravitational Instability<br />

A fundamental quantity: <strong>the</strong> matter overdensity<br />

δ(x) ≡<br />

ρ(x) − ¯ρ<br />

¯ρ<br />

≥−1<br />

At early times (z ~ 1000)fluctuations<br />

are small (σδ≪1):<br />

⟨δδ⟩≠0,<br />

⟨δδδ⟩≃0<br />

⟨δδδδ⟩≃0<br />

At late times fluctuations grow, σδ >1<br />

Non-Gaussianity is induced by<br />

gravitational evolution<br />

⟨δδ⟩≠0,<br />

⟨δδδ⟩≠0<br />

⟨δδδδ⟩≠0
