We question the existence of one-loop corrections to the large-scale power spectrum from small-scale modes in non-slow-roll dynamics which are not volume suppressed by the ratio of the short to long distance scales. One-loop contributions proportional to the long wavelength tree-level power spectrum, and not sharing this suppression, have appeared in studies involving interactions singled out by the non-slow-roll dynamics. In this context, we show the relevance of seemingly irrelevant interactions terms, such as the one provided by total derivative terms (boundary terms), and how they equally lead to non-volume suppressed contributions and exact cancellations.

  1. Unitary and Analytic Renormalisation of Cosmological Correlators

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Different dimensional regularization schemes agree with each other and with unitarity; new analytic eta regulators simplify the work and fix the imaginary part of one-loop coefficients by the logarithmic running of th...

  2. Background-independent one-loop renormalization of tensor and scalar primordial spectra

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UV divergences of one-loop primordial tensor and scalar spectra are absorbed by covariant and tadpole counterterms using only the universal WKB expansion of internal modes, yielding finite model-independent renormaliz...

  3. Finite parts of inflationary loops II: A streamlined UV in-in algorithm and distinguishable signatures

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A new UV in-in algorithm for inflationary loops identifies renormalization difficulties and distinguishable finite corrections to the one-loop bispectrum in EFT inflation.

  4. Stochastic Inflation with Interacting Noises

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The stochastic noise amplitude is modified to (H/2π) * sqrt(1 + ΔP_R / P0_R) to account for one-loop corrections in interacting theories, demonstrated in a three-phase SR-USR-SR setup for PBH formation.

  5. Hamiltonians to all Orders in Perturbation Theory and Higher Loop Corrections in Single Field Inflation with PBHs Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

  6. Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian and Higher Loop Corrections in USR Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In USR inflation with an idealized instantaneous sharp transition to slow-roll, higher loop corrections to curvature perturbations on CMB scales grow rapidly with loop order L and may exit perturbative control.

  7. Cancellation of one-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations from all scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.

  8. Fixing the Renormalization of Inflationary Loops via Ward Identities

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Ward identities from large gauge symmetry impose model-independent constraints on renormalizing inflationary loops and non-perturbatively govern the infrared power spectrum evolution.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
