We derive general analytic formulae for the power spectrum and spectral index of the curvature perturbation produced during inflation driven by a multi-component inflaton field, up to the second order in the slow-roll approximation. We do not assume any specific properties of the potential or the metric on the scalar field space, except for the slow-roll condition, Einstein gravity, and the absence of any permanent isocurvature modes.

  1. The Dual Primordial Black Hole Formation Scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single small-scale perturbation can form ultralight black holes during a break in inflation and heavier black holes after inflation, linking reheating to dark matter.

  2. On the Validity of the Effective Theory of (Multi-)Field Inflation

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Computes perturbation amplitudes in general effective multi-field inflation without sub-horizon limit and bounds higher-derivative corrections via ε for finite-cutoff models.

  3. Comment on: "Third-order corrections to the slow-roll expansion: Calculation and constraints with Planck, ACT, SPT, and BICEP/Keck [2025 PDU 47 101813]"

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    Several terms in the third-order slow-roll power spectra are incorrect because three-dimensional integrals were evaluated by integrating a truncated Taylor expansion instead of Taylor-expanding the integral.
