In our previous paper, we have proposed a new algorithm to calculate the power spectrum of the curvature perturbations generated in inflationary universe with use of the stochastic approach. Since this algorithm does not need the perturbative expansion with respect to the inflaton fields on super-horizon scale, it works even in highly stochastic cases. For example, when the curvature perturbations are very large or the non-Gaussianities of the curvature perturbations are sizable, the perturbative expansion may break down but our algorithm enables to calculate the curvature perturbations. We apply it to two well-known inflation models, chaotic and hybrid inflation, in this paper. Especially for hybrid inflation, while the potential is very flat around the critical point and the standard perturbative computation is problematic, we successfully calculate the curvature perturbations.

  1. A consistent formulation of stochastic inflation I: Non-Markovian effects and issues beyond linear perturbations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The conventional truncation in stochastic inflation is inconsistent because quadratic-noise contributions are the same perturbative order as the deterministic non-Markovian corrections.

  2. Multifield stochastic inflation: Relevance of number of fields in statistical moments

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Stochastic effects in multifield inflation make the number of fields relevant for e-fold statistics and power spectrum, with a general formula for higher moments and an upper bound on fields for successful inflation.
