abstract

The calculation of loop corrections to the correlation functions of quantum fields during inflation or in the de~Sitter background presents greater challenges than in flat space due to the more complicated form of the mode functions. While in flat space highly sophisticated approaches to Feynman integrals exist, similar tools still remain to be developed for cosmological correlators. However, usually only their late-time limit is of interest. We introduce the method-of-region expansion for cosmological correlators as a tool to extract the late-time limit, and illustrate it with several examples for the interacting, massless, minimally coupled scalar field in de~Sitter space. In particular, we consider the in-in correlator $\langle\phi^2(\eta,q)\phi(\eta,k_1)\phi(\eta,k_2)\rangle$, whose region structure is relevant to anomalous dimensions and matching coefficients in Soft de Sitter effective theory.

  1. geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

    The one-loop triangle in-in correlator of massless scalars in flat space is evaluated in closed form in terms of dilogarithms, with Landau analysis revealing its physical singularities and a partial-energy factorisati...

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Stochastic inflation is the leading infrared limit of a coarse-grained Schwinger–Keldysh effective theory, and the same Fokker–Planck dynamics follows from a Polchinski-type renormalization-group flow for the reduced ...

  4. A new approach to quark mass determination using the gradient flow

    hep-lat 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The MS quark mass can be extracted by matching lattice data to ratios of flowed quark bilinear VEVs, and this paper provides the required next-to-leading-order expressions with full mass dependence.

  5. Classical conformal invariance and superhorizon dynamics in de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Standard SdSET power counting fails for classically conformal φ⁴; leading superhorizon modes must be read from the two-loop anomalous dimension of the two-point function.

  6. Renormalisation and matching of massless scalar correlation functions in Soft de Sitter Effective Theory

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SdSET is shown to renormalise and match like a flat-space EFT: tree-level trispectrum and six-point matching plus a one-loop power-spectrum match determine the SdSET couplings and initial-condition functions.

  7. Inflationary Decoherence from the Gravitational Floor

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational self-interactions alone decohere super-Hubble inflationary fluctuations with purity loss growing as (aH/k)^5, faster than the a^3 growth of earlier calculations.

  8. Finite parts of inflationary loops

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  9. The Quantum Mechanics of Rare Events: From Quantum Walks to Stochastic Inflation

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Rare fluctuations in quantum walks are ruled by a measurement-induced relative entropy, and applying this to stochastic inflation yields a steady state that violates detailed balance.
