A rolling axion-like coupling to a massive gauge boson generates a CP-odd imaginary trispectrum of primordial fluctuations, while local four-scalar EFT operators in exact de Sitter space produce no observable signal.

abstract
We show how cosmological correlation functions of massless fields can be rewritten in terms of Minkowski correlation functions, by extracting symmetry-breaking operators from the cosmological correlators. This technique simplifies some cosmological calculations. Also, known properties of Minkowski correlation functions can be translated to non-trivial properties of cosmological correlations. To illustrate this idea, inflation to Minkowski and matter bounce to Minkowski relations are presented for the interactions of general single field inflation. And a Minkowski recursion relation is translated to a novel relation for inflation.
