A survey of physicists finds that claimed consensus positions on foundational topics often rest on pluralities or narrow majorities rather than strong field-wide agreement.

The equilateral bispectrum from massive scalar exchange in inflation is not universally negative in the full EFT of inflation; its sign depends on a critical ratio of operator coefficients.
Einstein-scalar cosmological systems admit a compact global attractor with late-time dynamics governed by at most two degrees of freedom under regularity assumptions on the potential.
A specially regularized hyperbolic field space in a two-field model allows a stable non-singular bounce that preserves the null energy condition, remains BKL-stable, and recovers exact Starobinsky predictions on all observable scales after pushing bounce features far beyond reach.
A vacuum-decay model generates primordial curvature perturbations from spatially correlated stochastic noise rather than inflaton fluctuations, solving horizon and flatness problems with zero tensor-to-scalar ratio.
Perturbative inflaton decay emits an irreducible stochastic GW background with Ω_GW ∝ f spectrum whose amplitude is set by the hard decay rate and reaches O(10^{-17}) at GHz scales.
Inflationary magnetic fields induce curvature perturbations that form ultralight PBHs, generating a stochastic GW background with model-specific features.
Ward identities from large gauge symmetry impose model-independent constraints on renormalizing inflationary loops and non-perturbatively govern the infrared power spectrum evolution.
Alpha-attractor quintessential inflation models are disfavored by DESI observations and Delta Neff limits from gravitational waves, as they predict an inconsistent scalar spectral index when the gravitational-wave abundance is constrained.
Torsion-induced fermion condensate produces hybrid inflation with axial-chemical-potential waterfall, Q-ball PBH seeds, and parity-violating signatures in Chern-Simons gravity.
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.
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.
Deformed alpha-attractor T-models with a Gaussian feature near the minimum yield more smaller shorter-lived oscillons during self-resonance preheating, suppressing energy in oscillons and altering the high-frequency gravitational wave tail while leaving low frequencies unchanged.
Numerical multi-field analysis of Higgs-R² inflation with kinetic mixing identifies two regimes: moderate ξ_h produces localized features in the curvature power spectrum via isocurvature transfer, while weak ξ_h leaves a nearly featureless spectrum with residual isocurvature.
Kaniadakis entropic cosmology modifies early-universe dynamics and is constrained by its predictions for Starobinsky inflation and the primordial tensor spectrum using current CMB and gravitational-wave observations.
Dust-cleaned CIB and CMB lensing cross-correlations yield f_NL^local = 43 ± 23, tightening constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity.
Kerr-Newman black holes in f(R) gravity retain the same hidden symmetries and universal gyromagnetic ratio g=2 as in general relativity.
Updated constraints on non-zero VEV parameter M from ACT+Planck data, plus lattice simulations showing oscillon formation and reheating implications.
