abstract

The ``in-in'' formalism is reviewed and extended, and applied to the calculation of higher-order Gaussian and non-Gaussian correlations in cosmology. Previous calculations of these correlations amounted to the evaluation of tree graphs in the in-in formalism; here we also consider loop graphs. It turns out that for some though not all theories, the contributions of loop graphs as well as tree graphs depend only on the behavior of the inflaton potential near the time of horizon exit. A sample one-loop calculation is presented.

Kontorovich-Lebedev-Fourier Space for de Sitter Correlators

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A Kontorovich-Lebedev-Fourier space is built for (d+1)-dimensional de Sitter correlators from the Casimir operator of SO(1,d+1), producing rational propagators and Feynman rules that turn tree and loop diagrams into spectral integrals and orthogonality relations.

Unitary and Analytic Renormalisation of Cosmological Correlators

hep-th · 2025-09-02 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Different dimensional regularization schemes agree with each other and with unitarity; new analytic eta regulators simplify the work and fix the imaginary part of one-loop coefficients by the logarithmic running of the real part under scale invariance and Bunch-Davies conditions.

Medicine show: A Calogero model with principal series states

hep-th · 2025-07-23 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A deformed Calogero model accommodates unitary principal series states of sl(2,R) via operator domain changes, preserving unitarity and invariance while altering integrability, with solutions for N=2 and 3.

Warm Inflation with Pseudo-scalar Couplings

hep-ph · 2025-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Warm inflation models with pseudo-scalar couplings require inclusion of induced chemical potentials that make the thermal friction-fluctuation relation model-dependent rather than universal.

On the simplicity of de Sitter correlators

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

De Sitter correlators in conformally coupled φ³ theory admit a time-integral representation built from flat-space correlators, revealing intrinsic simplifications including vanishing of odd conjugate-momentum graphs and a smaller symbol alphabet than the corresponding wavefunction coefficients.

Gravitational-wave lensing beyond rays: a disordered-system approach

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A quenched-disorder approach with Schwinger-Keldysh path integrals produces an averaged density matrix for gravitational waves that separates phase-suppressing exponential terms from oscillatory corrections to coherent propagation.

Non-Relativistic Cosmological Collider Signals

hep-ph · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

Kinematic Flow for Banana Loops and Unparticles

hep-th · 2026-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Banana loop cosmological correlators are captured by master integrals from tubings of marked graphs, with connection matrices derived from activation, merger, swap, and copy rules unique to unparticle exchanges.

A Compact Story of Positivity in de Sitter

hep-th · 2025-08-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.

Classical and quantum evolution of inflationary fluctuations

hep-th · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.

An Alternative Viewpoint on Kinematic Flow from Tubing Splitting

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Reversing the direction of tubing evolution yields splitting rules that reproduce the kinematic flow differential equations at tree level and suggest time emerges from kinematic space in conformally coupled scalar models and tr phi^3 theory.
