...…thus, the probability distribution of primordial curvature perturbations (in the comoving gauge), R, generated from ϕ (in the flat gauge) as R = −[H(φ)/φ̇0]ϕ (Mukhanov & Chibisov 1981; Hawking 1982; Starobinsky 1982; Guth & Pi 1982; Bardeen et al. 1983), would also be a Gaussian distribution....
