CMB anomalies and the effects of local features of the inflaton potential

Abstract Recent analysis of the WMAP and Planck data have shown the presence of a dip and a bump in the spectrum of primordial perturbations at the scales $$k=0.002$$ k = 0.002 Mpc $${}^{-1}$$ - 1 and $$k=0.0035$$ k = 0.0035 Mpc $${}^{-1}$$ - 1 , respectively. We analyze for the first time the effec...
