In this paper, we study several issues in the linear equation-of-motion (EoM) and in-in approaches of computing the two-point correlation functions in multi-field inflation. We prove the equivalence between this EoM approach and the first-principle in-in formalism. We check this equivalence using several explicit examples, including cases with scale-invariant corrections and scale-dependent features. Motivated by the explicit proof, we show that the usual procedures in these approaches can be extended and applied to some interesting model categories beyond what has been studied in the literature so far. These include the density perturbations with strong couplings and correlated multi-field initial states.

  1. Scale-Dependent Loop Corrections to the Inflationary Power Spectrum

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    One-loop gravitational corrections in inflationary models with scale-dependent features are renormalizable and vanish on large and small scales, preserving perturbativity of CMB-fit feature models.
