abstract
We study the power spectrum of the comoving curvature perturbation $\cal R$ in the model that glues two linear potentials of different slopes, originally proposed by Starobinsky. We find that the enhanced power spectrum reaches its maximum at the wavenumber which is $\pi$ times the junction scale. The peak is $\sim2.61$ times larger than the ultraviolet plateau. We also show that its near-peak behavior can be well approximated by a constant-roll model, once we define the effective ultra-slow-roll $e$-folding number appropriately by considering the contribution from non-single-clock phase only. Such an abrupt transition to non-attractor phase can leave some interesting characteristic features in the energy spectrum of the scalar-induced gravitational waves, which are detectable in the space-borne interferometers if the primordial black holes generated at such a high peak are all the dark matter.

Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism
A shear-free locally FLRW lattice framework for single-field inflation captures spatially varying expansion, curvature corrections, and nonlinear δN observables at a fraction of the cost of full numerical relativity.

How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?
In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.

When the Environment Speaks: Quantum Signatures in Non-Attractor Inflation
An open quantum system treatment of curvature perturbations during Ultra-Slow-Roll inflation shows that environmental decoherence erases the interference dip, modifies the growth slope, and induces oscillatory feature...

Evading the CMB $\mu$-distortion bound on Supermassive Primordial Black Hole seeds with Non-Gaussian tails
Under the FIRAS μ-distortion variance cap, power-law and heavy log-normal PDF tails can yield seed-relevant PBH abundances, while Gaussian and ordinary exponential tails cannot.

Superhorizon curvature perturbations in hybrid inflation revisited
Hybrid inflation's waterfall tachyonic instability grows isocurvature modes that convert to curvature perturbations at the field-space turn, yielding a k^{3}-peaked spectrum with always-positive f_NL that enhances PBH...

Axion USR Inflation
In axion inflation with an intermediate ultra-slow-roll phase, the instability parameter collapses at the start of USR, terminating gauge production and yielding a two-peak power spectrum with P_R ∝ k^m, m>4.

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.

$\delta n$ formalism: A new formulation for the probability density of the curvature perturbation
A reformulation of the δN formalism that counts e-folds forward and exploits the superhorizon correlation between field and velocity to express the curvature perturbation PDF as a one-dimensional change of variables.
