Several recent proposals to embed inflation into high-energy physics rely on inflationary dynamics characterized by a strongly non-geodesic motion in negatively curved field space. This naturally leads to a transient instability of perturbations on sub-Hubble scales, and to their exponential amplification. Supported by first-principle numerical computations, and by the analytical insight provided by the effective field theory of inflation, we show that the bispectrum is enhanced in flattened configurations, and we argue that an analogous result holds for all higher-order correlation functions. These ``hyper non-Gaussianities'' thus provide powerful model-independent constraints on non-standard inflationary attractors motivated by the search for ultraviolet completions of inflation.

  1. Pushing the Primordial Frontier: Exact Linear Solutions in Multifield Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Exact analytic solutions for coupled linear perturbations in two-field inflation provide a closed-form primordial power spectrum that interpolates weak, strong, light, and heavy field regimes.

  2. Searching for Folded Primordial Non-Gaussianity with Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The galaxy bispectrum, not the power spectrum, is the main probe of folded primordial non-Gaussianity; narrow folded signals are washed out by Fourier-space binning.

  3. Pushing the Primordial Frontier: Cosmological Collider Signatures at Strong Mixing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact analytic squeezed-limit bispectra for strongly mixed two-field inflation, nonperturbative in the curvature-isocurvature mixing λ.

  4. Inflation with a Growing Fifth Dimension

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Inflation from a UV-brane inflaton in a warped 5D bulk with an IR brane predicts a blue-tilted low-k scalar spectrum and oscillating tensor features because the early adiabatic modes come from the radion.

  5. Post-inflationary enhancement of adiabatic perturbations in modular cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In modular inflation models, entropic perturbations frozen during inflation are converted into curvature perturbations after inflation, producing an enhanced power spectrum while preserving the spectral index ns.
