Figure 20: Trispectrum geometrical factor for the kite quadrilaterals (represented on the left panel) as a function of the opening angle θ, and plotted for various values of α. The trispectrum is enhanced in the squeezed limit θ0. The bump for θp=π-2α corresponds to the parallelogram limit for which the unconnected part is no longer vanishing.
