mTransport is an automated tool that computes the 2-point-correlation function of the curvature and tensor perturbations in multifield models of inflation in the presence of a curved field space. It is an implementation of the transport method which encompasses scenarios with violations of slow-roll conditions and turns of the trajectory in field space. It can be used for an arbitrary mass spectrum, including massive modes, particle production and models with quasi-single-field dynamics.
It has been written by Mafalda Dias, Jonathan Frazer and David Seery.
The transport method uses evolution equations for the correlation functions of primordial perturbations to compute observables. Details on this method and its current implementation for curved field-spaces are described in:
