Using the $\delta N$ formalism we calculate the one-loop correction to the large-scale power spectrum of the curvature perturbation in the standard scenario where primordial black holes are formed in the early universe thanks to a phase of ultra-slow-roll in single-field inflation. We explicitly show that one-loop corrections are negligible when the transition from the ultra-slow-roll to the slow-roll phase is smooth. We conclude that the PBH formation scenario through a ultra-slow-roll phase is viable.

  1. UV artefacts in ultra-slow-roll models of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.

  2. Unitary and Analytic Renormalisation of Cosmological Correlators

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Different dimensional regularization schemes agree with each other and with unitarity; new analytic eta regulators simplify the work and fix the imaginary part of one-loop coefficients by the logarithmic running of th...

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

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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...

  4. Stochastic constant-roll inflation beyond the hilltop with the spectral method

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Spectral solution of the Fokker-Planck operator for hilltop constant-roll inflation shows rare crossing trajectories dominate the mean, so the median yields a coarse-grained ΔN distribution whose exponential tail flat...

  5. Hamiltonians to all Orders in Perturbation Theory and Higher Loop Corrections in Single Field Inflation with PBHs Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives all-order Hamiltonians via EFT of inflation for USR models and shows L-loop corrections to CMB-scale perturbations scale as (ΔN P_e L)^L, exiting perturbative control at L=4 for typical ΔN≈2.5.

  6. Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian and Higher Loop Corrections in USR Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In USR inflation with an idealized instantaneous sharp transition to slow-roll, higher loop corrections to curvature perturbations on CMB scales grow rapidly with loop order L and may exit perturbative control.

  7. Cancellation of one-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations from all scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.

  8. Fixing the Renormalization of Inflationary Loops via Ward Identities

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Ward identities from large gauge symmetry impose model-independent constraints on renormalizing inflationary loops and non-perturbatively govern the infrared power spectrum evolution.
