An EFT with inflaton-dependent axion kinetic term organizes direct decay and annihilation production during reheating, yielding ΔN_eff contributions that scale as T_rh^{-2} and T_rh^{4/3} respectively and allowing a two-dimensional map of constraints on Wilson coefficients and reheating temperature.

For n=2 inflaton potentials Boltzmann and Bogoliubov agree on short-wavelength gravitons; for n>2 the non-adiabatic transition dominates and requires the Bogoliubov formalism.
Tree-level multi-soft theorems for scalar and graviton correlation functions are derived at leading soft order via background-wave coordinate rescaling, including tensor exchanges in scalars and scalar exchanges in tensors.
Schwinger fermion production in axion inflation damps gauge fields, enabling observable primordial gravitational waves in LISA/ET bands while satisfying ΔN_eff limits and identifying a new damped-oscillation backreaction regime.
DSWIM adds a Hubble-scaled deterministic correlation matrix evolution to SWIM that preserves the primordial curvature power spectrum exactly while improving numerical conditioning and resolving stochastic-deterministic discrepancies.
Apparent exponential growth of metric perturbations in the Newtonian gauge for quadratic-gravity inflation is gauge-dependent and non-generic; other gauges remain well-behaved.
Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.
A dark U(1)_D model with dark Higgs inflation and low reheating allows dark photon dark matter to achieve the observed relic density for a wider range of couplings, with inflation predictions matching Planck, BICEP/Keck and ACT data.
Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
