The axion monodromy model involves a canonical scalar field that is governedby a linear potential with superimposed modulations. The modulations in thepotential are responsible for a resonant behavior which gives rise topersisting oscillations in the scalar and, to a smaller extent, in the tensorpower spectra. Interestingly, such spectra have been shown to lead to animproved fit to the cosmological data than the more conventional, nearly scaleinvariant, primordial power spectra. The scalar bi-spectrum in the model tooexhibits continued modulations and the resonance is known to boost theamplitude of the scalar non-Gaussianity parameter to rather large values. Ananalytical expression for the scalar bi-spectrum had been arrived at earlierwhich, in fact, has been used to compare the model with the cosmic microwavebackground anisotropies at the level of three-point functions involvingscalars. In this work, with future applications in mind, we arrive at a similaranalytical template for the scalar-scalar-tensor cross-correlation. We alsoanalytically establish the consistency relation (in the squeezed limit) forthis three-point function. We conclude with a summary of the main resultsobtained.
