abstract
In the primordial universe, fields with mass much larger than the mass-scale of the event-horizon (such as the Hubble parameter in inflation) exist ubiquitously, and can be excited from time to time and oscillate quickly around their minima. These excitations can induce specific patterns in density perturbations, which record the time dependence of the scale factor of the primordial universe, thus provide direct evidence for the inflation paradigm or its alternatives. Such effects are conventionally averaged out in theoretical and data analyses, but can be accessible for experiments targeting on density perturbations with high multipoles.

A shear-free lattice method bridges stochastic inflation and δN formalism by enabling fully nonlinear calculations of curvature perturbations in single-field models with ultra-slow-roll phases.
In a string-inspired two-field axion monodromy model, oscillatory modulations excite heavy moduli during inflation, producing detectable cosmological collider signals in the primordial bispectrum that bypass Boltzmann suppression.
Non-parametric knot-based reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum P_R(k) from BOSS+eBOSS data up to k=0.3 h/Mpc favors a quasi-scale-invariant power law and constrains n_s = 0.976 ± 0.021 with no evidence for primordial features.
A review that unifies analytical expressions for scalar-induced gravitational waves and emphasizes calculations for non-radiation-dominated cosmologies.
