abstract
We study the slow-roll inflation models, where the inflaton slow-rolls along a trajectory whose orthogonal directions are lifted by potentials with masses of order the Hubble parameter. In these models large non-Gaussianities can be generated through the transformation from the isocurvature modes to the curvature mode, once the inflaton trajectory turns. We find large bispectra with one-parameter family of novel shapes, interpolating between the equilateral and local shape. According to the in-in formalism, the shapes of these non-Gaussianities are different from a simple projection from the isocurvature non-Gaussian correlation functions.

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.
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.
The paper derives a correspondence between boundary terms and field redefinitions for cosmological correlators and classifies non-vanishing boundary contributions in massive-exchange diagrams under dS isometries and broken boosts.
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.
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.
MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.
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.
