Inflation, Cosmic Perturbations and Non-Gaussianities
read the original abstract
We review the theory of inflationary perturbations. Perturbations at both linear and nonlinear orders are reviewed. We also review a variety of inflation models, emphasizing their signatures on cosmic perturbations.

Cosmological Collider Signatures from Right-Handed Neutrino Loop
Right-handed neutrino loops in inflation with seesaw mechanism generate enhanced cosmological collider signatures via a chemical potential from a dimension-5 operator, softening Boltzmann suppression and amplifying os...

Finite parts of inflationary loops II: A streamlined UV in-in algorithm and distinguishable signatures
A new UV in-in algorithm for inflationary loops identifies renormalization difficulties and distinguishable finite corrections to the one-loop bispectrum in EFT inflation.

Spatially covariant gravity with two degrees of freedom: A perturbative analysis up to cubic order
Five explicit polynomial spatially covariant gravity Lagrangians up to total derivative order three are identified that propagate only two degrees of freedom up to cubic order in perturbations around a cosmological ba...

Ward Identity Constraints on Loop Corrections in Non-Attractor Inflation
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.

An Alternative Viewpoint on Kinematic Flow from Tubing Splitting
Reversing the direction of tubing evolution yields splitting rules that reproduce the kinematic flow differential equations at tree level and suggest time emerges from kinematic space in conformally coupled scalar mod...
