Soft Theorems For Shift-Symmetric Cosmologies
read the original abstract
We derive soft theorems for single-clock cosmologies that enjoy a shift symmetry. These so-called consistency conditions arise from a combination of a large diffeomorphism and the internal shift-symmetry and fix the squeezed limit of all correlators with a soft scalar mode. As an application, we show that our results reproduce the squeezed bispectrum for Ultra-slow-roll inflation, a particular shift-symmetric, non-attractor model which is known to violate Maldacena's consistency relation. Similar results have been previously obtained by Mooij and Palma using background-wave methods. Our results shed new light on the infrared structure of single-clock cosmological spacetimes.

Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism
A shear-free lattice method bridges stochastic inflation and δN formalism by enabling fully nonlinear calculations of curvature perturbations in single-field models with ultra-slow-roll phases.

Multi-soft theorems for cosmological correlators: Background wave method for scalars & gravitons
Tree-level multi-soft theorems for scalar and graviton correlation functions are derived at leading soft order via background-wave coordinate rescaling, including tensor exchanges in scalars and scalar exchanges in tensors.

Hamiltonians to all Orders in Perturbation Theory and Higher Loop Corrections in Single Field Inflation with PBHs Formation
Derives all-order Hamiltonians via EFT of inflation for USR models and shows L-loop corrections to CMB-scale perturbations scale as (ΔN P_e L)^L, exiting perturbative control at L=4 for typical ΔN≈2.5.
