摘要
Inflationary models predict a definite, model-independent, angular dependence for the three-point correlation function of DELTAT/T at large angles (greater than or similar to 1-degrees) which we calculate. The overall amplitude is model dependent and generically unobservably small, but may be large in some specific models. We compare our results with other models of non-Gaussian fluctuations.
