In this short note we clarify the role of the boundary terms in the calculation of the leading order tree-level bispectrum in a fairly general minimally coupled single field inflationary model, where the inflaton's Lagrangian is a general function of the scalar field and its first derivatives. This includes k-inflation, DBI-inflation and standard kinetic term inflation as particular cases. These boundary terms appear when simplifying the third order action by using integrations by parts. We perform the calculation in the comoving gauge obtaining explicitly all total time derivative interactions and show that a priori they cannot be neglected. The final result for the bispectrum is equal to the result present in the literature which was obtained using the field redefinition.

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

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

Conservation of superhorizon curvature perturbations at one loop: Backreaction in the in-in formalism and Renormalization
Superhorizon curvature perturbations remain conserved at one-loop order in single-field inflation with a transient non-slow-roll period when backreaction and renormalization are included.
