We calculate the three-point function for primordial scalar fluctuations in a single field inflationary scenario where the scalar field Lagrangian is a completely general function of the field and its first derivative. We obtain an explicit expression for the three-point correlation function in a self-consistent approximation scheme where the expansion rate varies slowly, analogous to the slow-roll limit in standard, single-field inflation. The three-point function can be written in terms of the familiar slow-roll parameters and three new parameters which measure the non-trivial kinetic structure of the scalar field, the departure of the sound speed from the speed of light, and the rate of change of the sound speed.

  1. Stochastic scalar-tensor inflation and beyond

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Extends the stochastic inflation formalism to a wide class of scalar-tensor theories by mapping EFT of dark energy coefficients to stochastic equations of motion.

  2. Non-Gaussianity in SMICA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    New SMICA formalism and binned bispectrum estimator jointly recover power spectra, spectral parameters, foreground 3-point correlators, and primordial non-Gaussianity constraints from multi-frequency polarization maps...

  3. Massive Exchange and the Sign of the Equilateral Bispectrum

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The equilateral bispectrum from massive scalar exchange in inflation is not universally negative in the full EFT of inflation; its sign depends on a critical ratio of operator coefficients.

  4. Inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    The inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges is derived analytically, yielding beta^zeta_nl = (b^zeta_nl)^2 in the counter-collinear limit and growing flattened-limit signals.
