This paper presents a method for obtaining an analytic expression for the density function of observables in multifield models of inflation with sum-separable potentials. The most striking result is that the density function in general possesses a sharp peak and the location of this peak is only mildly sensitive to the distribution of initial conditions. A simple argument is given for why this result holds for a more general class of models than just those with sum-separable potentials and why for such models, it is possible to obtain robust predictions for observable quantities. As an example, the joint density function of the spectral index and running in double quadratic inflation is computed. For scales leaving the horizon 55 e-folds before the end of inflation, the density function peaks at n_{s}=0.967 and \alpha=0.0006 for the spectral index and running respectively.

Robust non-minimal attractors in many-field inflation
For non-minimally coupled many-field inflation with at least one ξ ≫ 1, CMB observables match single-field predictions, with explicit large-N formulas for e-folds, Hubble scale, and turn rate.
