abstract
In quasi-single field inflation models, massive isocurvature modes, that are coupled to the inflaton and have mass of order the Hubble parameter, can have nontrivial impacts on density perturbations, especially non-Gaussianities. We study a simple example of quasi-single field inflation in terms of turning inflaton trajectory. Large bispectra with a one-parameter family of novel shapes arise, lying between the well-known local and equilateral shape. The trispectra can also be very large and its magnitude tNL can be much larger than fNL squared.

Compactified 5D unparticle theories generate gapped excitations whose exchange in inflationary correlators yields oscillations modulated by anomalous dimensions and possible interference patterns under brane-localized interactions.
Computes inflationary bispectra and trispectra from tree-level unparticle exchanges using Mellin-Barnes methods and symmetry-based differential equations, revealing that full shapes are needed to distinguish unparticles from light particles.
A parity-split IBP system for n-propagator families in de Sitter space is identified, along with a conjecture that dlog-form differential equations extend to dS integrands with Hankel functions, verified for the one-loop bubble.
A graph-tubing combinatorial framework governs the first-order differential equations obeyed by master integrals for massive cosmological correlators in de Sitter space.
Right-handed neutrino loops in inflation with seesaw mechanism generate enhanced cosmological collider signatures via a chemical potential from a dimension-5 operator, softening Boltzmann suppression and amplifying oscillatory non-Gaussianity for the dominant helicity mode.
Non-relativistic propagation of a tilted-ghost spectator field during inflation produces boostless cosmological collider non-Gaussianity via an effective chemical-potential-like tilt parameter.
In a string-inspired two-field axion monodromy model, oscillatory modulations excite heavy moduli during inflation, producing detectable cosmological collider signals in the primordial bispectrum that bypass Boltzmann suppression.
Orbital Inflation reconstructs two-field actions with an angular isometry yielding single-field-like predictions that violate consistency relations and allow f_NL from slow-roll suppressed to O(few) depending on entropy mass and self-interactions.
Unified tree-level bispectrum shapes for cosmological collider processes are computed and searched in Planck data, yielding no detection but a weak hint for chemical potential extensions at ω - M ≃ 3H.
Compares two methods to resolve disagreements and prove positivity of anomalous dimensions for principal series fields coupled to compact scalar operators in de Sitter space.
In dynamical Chern-Simons inflation the parity-odd trispectrum is a double copy of the mixed bispectrum and parity-odd power spectrum via a prior factorization formula.
Coupling Chern-Simons gravity to a spectator field in multi-field inflation generates distinctive parity-odd scalar-tensor bispectra with perturbativity bounds on the couplings.
Modular spontaneous CP breaking during inflation with the modulus as inflaton produces one-loop cosmological collider signals from SM fermions enhanced by chemical potentials, allowing probes of sub-Planckian modulus decay constants.
DESI will target luminous red galaxies to z=1, emission-line galaxies to z=1.7, quasars for tracers and Ly-alpha forest at 2.1<z<3.5, plus a bright galaxy survey, to obtain more than 30 million redshifts for BAO and matter power spectrum measurements.
Presents the science case, reference design, and project plan for the CMB-S4 ground-based CMB experiment.
