abstract
It is well known that the correlation functions of a scalar field in a quasi-de Sitter space exhibit at the loop level cumulative infra-red effects proportional to the total number of e-foldings of inflation. Using the in-in formalism, we explore the behavior of these infra-red effects in the large N limit of an O(N) invariant scalar field theory with quartic self-interactions. By resumming all higher-order loop diagrams non-perturbatively, we show that the connected four-point correlation function, which is a signal of non-Gaussianity, is non-perturbatively enhanced with respect to its tree-level value.

Scalar field effective potentials in de Sitter spacetime
Explicit one-loop computation shows the constraint effective potential for scalars in de Sitter is free of infrared problems and supports its use in stochastic Starobinsky-Yokoyama inflation.
