We question the existence of one-loop corrections to the large-scale power spectrum from small-scale modes in non-slow-roll dynamics which are not volume suppressed by the ratio of the short to long distance scales. One-loop contributions proportional to the long wavelength tree-level power spectrum, and not sharing this suppression, have appeared in studies involving interactions singled out by the non-slow-roll dynamics. In this context, we show the relevance of seemingly irrelevant interactions terms, such as the one provided by total derivative terms (boundary terms), and how they equally lead to non-volume suppressed contributions and exact cancellations.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Inflationary background renormalization

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In single-field inflation, imposing a zero one-point function for the curvature perturbation leaves a finite, scheme-dependent one-loop correction to the two-point function that background renormalization cannot absorb.

  5. Reconstructing Primordial Curvature Perturbations via Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves with LISA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    A subset of hybrid alpha-attractor inflation models passes all large- and small-scale constraints and predicts scalar-induced gravitational waves detectable by LISA.

  7. How Dilatation Invariance Suppresses Loop Corrections to Curvature Perturbations on CMB Scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  10. One-loop corrections to infrared GWs is forbidden by symmetries

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In non-attractor single-field inflation, one-loop corrections to superhorizon gravitational waves cancel, and a Ward identity explains why.

    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.

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    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.

    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.
