abstract
The spectrum of curvature perturbation generated during inflation is studied in the case the inflation-driving scalar field (inflaton) $\phi$ crosses over its potential extremum. It is shown that the nondecaying mode of perturbation has a finite value and a proper formula is given. The result is also extended to more general cases where $\ddot{\phi}$ is non-negligible.

Vector modes from primordial magnetic fields remain constant in a kination epoch and source second-order curvature perturbations scaling as P_R(k) ∝ k^{-5}, sufficient for PBH dark matter abundance in a Ratra-type magnetogenesis model.
One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.
Ward identities derived from perturbation-theory symmetries enforce non-perturbative constraints on the infrared power spectrum and guarantee conservation of super-horizon modes in non-attractor inflation.
Non-standard reheating imprints detectable features on SIGW spectra via non-Gaussianity, with dynamics that can suppress or boost the signal amplitude for LISA.
A tutorial deriving cosmological perturbation equations from inflation through reheating, with explicit gauge-invariant computations and Python scripts.
