abstract
We examine one-loop corrections from small-scale curvature perturbations to the superhorizon-limit ones in single-field inflation models, which have recently caused controversy. We consider the case where the Universe experiences transitions of slow-roll (SR) $\to$ intermediate period $\to$ SR. The intermediate period can be an ultra-slow-roll period or a resonant amplification period, either of which enhances small-scale curvature perturbations. We assume that the superhorizon curvature perturbations are conserved at least during each of the SR periods. Within this framework, we show that the superhorizon curvature perturbations during the first and the second SR periods coincide at one-loop level in the slow-roll limit.

Scale-Dependent Loop Corrections to the Inflationary Power Spectrum
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.

Spectrum of third-order tensor perturbations induced by excited scalar fields
For exponentially amplified scalar modes during inflation, the third-order gravitational wave spectrum grows faster than the one-loop spectrum and dominates before the signal becomes detectable, breaking perturbation theory.

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

Reconstructing Primordial Curvature Perturbations via Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves with LISA
LISA can reconstruct the primordial curvature power spectrum from scalar-induced gravitational waves, with percent-level precision near the peak and Bayesian tests separating SIGWs from other sources.

Finite parts of inflationary loops
A new dimensional-regularization procedure extracts complete finite parts of inflationary loop integrals, yielding a regulator-independent one-loop tensor power spectrum in slow-roll inflation with no late-time divergence.

How Dilatation Invariance Suppresses Loop Corrections to Curvature Perturbations on CMB Scales
Dilatation invariance forces the non-linear curvature perturbation on super-Hubble scales to depend only on the decaying/growing mode, suppressing loop corrections to the CMB power spectrum even with sharp transitions.

Evolution of Linear Perturbations under Time-Dependent Hubble Friction I: SR-USR-SR Inflation
Analytic asymptotics show the dip in the SR-USR-SR curvature power spectrum comes from cancellation between two growing modes, not a constant-versus-growing cancellation.

One-loop corrections to infrared GWs is forbidden by symmetries
In non-attractor single-field inflation, one-loop corrections to superhorizon gravitational waves cancel, and a Ward identity explains why.

Incorporating Backreaction in One-Loop Corrections in Ultra-Slow-Roll Inflation
Including the backreaction of quantum fluctuations on the background inflaton cancels the one-loop superhorizon corrections to the curvature power spectrum in ultra-slow-roll inflation.

One-loop corrections to the E-type $\alpha$-attractor models of inflation and primordial black hole production
For E-type alpha-attractor inflation models tuned to produce asteroid-mass primordial black holes, the one-loop correction from cubic interactions is only a few percent of the tree-level power spectrum.

Two-loop corrections in power spectrum in models of inflation with PBHs formation
The two-loop 'double scoop' diagram correction in USR inflation scales as the square of the one-loop correction, confirming that sharp transitions make the loop expansion unreliable.

Conservation of superhorizon curvature perturbations at one loop: Backreaction in the in-in formalism and Renormalization
Superhorizon curvature perturbations remain conserved at one-loop order in single-field inflation with a transient non-slow-roll period when backreaction and renormalization are included.

A cutoff-regularized, in-in calculation of cubic, quartic, and tadpole one-loop corrections finds the USR fractional correction scales as P_CMB e^{6ΔN}, confirming the sharp-transition loop-enhancement debate's original side.
