Shapes of gravity: tensor non-Gaussianity and massive spin-2 fields

Abstract If the graviton is the only high spin particle present during inflation, then the form of the observable tensor three-point function is fixed by de Sitter symmetry at leading order in slow-roll, regardless of the theory, to be a linear combination of two possible shapes. This is because the...
