报告摘要：
We revisit the growth of curvature perturbations in non-minimal curvaton scenario with a non-trivial field metric, and incorporate the effect from the non-uniform onset of curvaton's oscillation in terms of an axion-like potential. The field metric plays a central role in the enhancement of curvaton field perturbation, serving as an effective friction term which can be either positive or negative, depending on the first derivative. Our analysis reveals that it undergoes the superhorizon growth when the condition is satisfied. This is analogous to the mechanism responsible for the amplification of curvature perturbations in the context of ultra-slow-roll inflation, namely the growing modes dominate curvature perturbations. Utilizing the δN formalism, we derive analytical expressions for both the final curvature power spectrum and the non-linear parameter in terms of an axion-like curvaton's potential leading to the non-uniform curvaton's oscillation.
