Abstract
Constraining or detecting any non-Gaussianity in the CMB is a key method for discriminating between the many models of inflation. After briefly introducing the separate universe approach to calculating the curvature perturbation on large scales I present a diagrammatic approach to calculating the primordial n-point function of the curvature perturbation. Applications of this formalism to calculating the trispectrum (4-point function) in specific models of inflation are presented.
