Using $\delta N$ formalism, in the context of a generic multi-field inflation driven on a non-flat field space background, we revisit the analytic expressions of the various cosmological observables such as scalar/tensor power spectra, scalar/tensor spectral tilts, non-Gaussianity parameters, tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the various runnings of these observables. In our backward formalism approach, the subsequent expressions of observables automatically include terms beyond the leading order slow-roll expansion correcting many of the expression at subleading order. To connect our analysis properly with the earlier results, we rederive the (well) known (single field) expressions in the limiting cases of our generic formulae. Further, in the light of PLANCK results, we examine for the compatibility of the consistency relations within the slow-roll regime of a two-field roulette poly-instanton inflation realized in the context of large volume scenarios.

  1. Assisted Fibre Inflation in Perturbative LVS

    hep-th 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-field fibre inflation in perturbative LVS uses collective dynamics of several moduli to achieve viable cosmology with sub-Planckian individual field ranges given by total range divided by sqrt(n).

  2. On Global Embedding of Assisted Fibre Inflation

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Assisted multi-fibre inflation distributes the required field range across several moduli in global CY orientifolds, overcoming single-field Kähler cone obstructions to realize viable inflation.
