Non-Gaussianities of primordial perturbations in the soft limit provide the important information about the light degrees of freedom during inflation. The soft modes of the curvature perturbations, unobservable for a local observer, act as rescaling the spatial coordinates. We determine how the trispectrum in the collapsed limit is shifted by the rescaling due to the soft modes. We find the form of the inequality between $f_{\rm NL}$ and $\tau_{\rm NL}$ parameters is not affected by the rescaling, demonstrating that the role of the inequality as an indicator of the light degrees of freedom remains intact. We also comment on the local observer effect on the consistency relation for ultra slow-roll inflation.

  1. Inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    The inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges is derived analytically, yielding beta^zeta_nl = (b^zeta_nl)^2 in the counter-collinear limit and growing flattened-limit signals.
