Abstract
In this paper we provide a general framework based on δN formalism to estimate the cosmological observables pertaining to the cosmic microwave background radiation for non-separable potentials, and for generic end of inflation boundary conditions. We provide analytical and numerical solutions to the relevant observables by decomposing the cosmological perturbations along the curvature and the isocurvature directions, instead of adiabatic and entropy directions. We then study under what conditions large bi-spectrum and tri-spectrum can be generated through phase transition which ends inflation. In an illustrative example, we show that large fNL ∼ 
(80) and τNL ∼ (20000) can be obtained for the case of separable and non-separable inflationary potentials.
