Abstract in inglese: The thesis project deals with the so-called cosmological consistency relation, as predicted by inflationary models of the Early Universe. Such relation links the primordial power spectrum of the so-called comoving curvature perturbation (a gauge-invariant measure of primordial density perturbations) or the tensor perturbations (i. e. primordial gravitational waves) with the corresponding bispectrum (the Fourier counterpart of the 3-point function), in the so-called squeezed limit, which means sending one momentum to zero in the 3-point correlator. This property is phenomenologically very important, since it holds in any single-field model of inflation, but many other models of inflation (such as multi-field inflation) ...
