abstract

We explore in detail the dynamics of multi-field inflationary models. We first revisit the two-field case and rederive the coordinate independent expression for the attractor solution with either small or large turn rate, emphasizing the role of isometries for the existence of rapid-turn solutions. Then, for three fields in the slow-twist regime we provide elegant expressions for the attractor solution for generic field-space geometries and potentials and study the behaviour of first order perturbations. For generic $\mathcal{N}$-field models, our method quickly grows in algebraic complexity. We observe that field-space isometries are common in the literature and are able to obtain the attractor solutions and deduce stability for some isometry classes of $\mathcal{N}$-field models. Finally, we apply our discussion to concrete supergravity models. These analyses conclusively demonstrate the existence of $\mathcal{N}>2$ dynamical attractors distinct from the two-field case, and provide tools useful for future studies of their phenomenology in the cosmic microwave background and stochastic gravitational wave spectrum.

  1. Ultra slow-turn inflation

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In slow-roll multi-field inflation, stability should be read from the total entropy perturbation, which decays in 'ultra slow-turn' models even when the isocurvature effective mass-squared is negative.

  2. Three-Field String Inflation with Perturbative Corrections: Dynamics and Implications

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A three-field inflation model is constructed in a perturbative large-volume string setup where loop and higher-derivative corrections stabilize the moduli and produce a two-stage inflationary trajectory.
