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.

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.
Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.
Exact analytic solutions for coupled linear perturbations in two-field inflation provide a closed-form primordial power spectrum that interpolates weak, strong, light, and heavy field regimes.
Introduces spectral dispersion bootstrap combining dS spectral decomposition and dispersion relations to compute 3- and 4-point loop correlators with massive scalar and vector exchanges.
Exact fermionic bubble loop signals in cosmological collider physics are obtained via spectral and Mellin-Barnes methods, with the Yukawa bispectrum vanishing identically due to field redefinition.
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.
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 models with pseudo-scalar couplings require inclusion of induced chemical potentials that make the thermal friction-fluctuation relation model-dependent rather than universal.
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.
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.
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.
Residual anomalous coherence in scalar perturbations imprints on scalar-induced tensor modes, producing a correlated gravitational-wave background with nontrivial covariance and phase structure instead of a simple spectral shift.
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.
A new UV in-in algorithm for inflationary loops identifies renormalization difficulties and distinguishable finite corrections to the one-loop bispectrum in EFT inflation.
Derives all-order Hamiltonians via EFT of inflation for USR models and shows L-loop corrections to CMB-scale perturbations scale as (ΔN P_e L)^L, exiting perturbative control at L=4 for typical ΔN≈2.5.
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.
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.
One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.
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.
Computes perturbation amplitudes in general effective multi-field inflation without sub-horizon limit and bounds higher-derivative corrections via ε for finite-cutoff models.
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.
