We present two families of multi-field potentials that support inflation while satisfying the refined de Sitter and the distance swampland conjectures. Both families feature Planck-compatible phenomenology. The first is a helix-type potential, in a flat field-space metric, that satisfies the conjectures via a high turning rate. This model has a tensor-toscalar ratio close to, but below, the current experimental limits and small non-gaussianities. The second family, an example of orbital inflation, utilizes a negatively curved field metric to achieve prolonged inflation with nontrivial turning in the presence of a tachyonic direction. Although perturbations in this model undergo an exponential growth before horizon exit, it is always possible to match the measured amplitude of the power spectrum by lowering the scale of inflation if the turning rate is low enough. We identify a Planck-compatible region of parameter space in which the scale of inflation is above that of nucleosynthesis. Due to the rapid growth, this model predicts an exponentially suppressed value for the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

    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.

    A three-field inflation model is constructed in a perturbative large-volume string setup where loop and higher-derivative corrections stabilize the moduli and produce a two-stage inflationary trajectory.
