abstract
We study the effect of massive isocurvaton on density perturbations in quasi-single field inflation models, when the mass of the isocurvaton M becomes larger than the order of the Hubble parameter H. We analytically compute the correction to the power spectrum, leading order in coupling but exact for all values of mass. This verifies the previous numerical results for the range 0<M<3H/2 and shows that, in the large mass limit, the correction is of order H^2/M^2.

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.
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.
