The (not so) squeezed limit of the primordial 3-point function

We prove that, in a generic single-field model, the consistency relation for the 3-point function in the squeezed limit receives corrections that vanish quadratically in the ratio of the momenta, i.e. as (k(L)/k(S))(2). This implies that a detection of a bispectrum signal going as 1/K-L(2) in the squeezed limit, that is suppressed only by one power of k(L) compared with the local shape, would rule out all single-field models. The absence of this kind of terms in the bispectrum holds also for multifield models, but only if all the fields have a mass much smaller than H. The detection of any scale dependence of the bias, for scales much larger than the size of the haloes, would disprove all single-field models. We comment on the regime of squeezing that can be probed by realistic surveys.
