abstract
We present a method for solving loop integrals in dimensional regularization that is particularly useful in the context of inflation. We apply this method to the calculation of the tensor power spectrum induced by scalar fluctuations in slow-roll inflation.

A new UV in-in algorithm for inflationary loops identifies renormalization difficulties and distinguishable finite corrections to the one-loop bispectrum in EFT inflation.
Classical part of 1-loop tensor power spectrum in de Sitter is IR divergent but cancels with vacuum part, enabling non-perturbative renormalization to extract unaffected physical information.
Classical and quantum correlation functions of inflationary perturbations diverge exponentially with e-folds when interactions are relevant, even if forced to agree at an intermediate time.
