abstract

Cosmological collider signals of primordial non-Gaussianity arise at tree level when an extra scalar has Hubble mass during inflation. We critically review the formalism finding that a large class of inflationary theories, based on Planck-scale physics, predict a scalar bi-spectrum around the gravitational floor level. This mild signal arises for example in $R^2$ gravity, in the regime where its gravitational scalar has Hubble-scale mass. Signals much above the gravitational floor arise in theories where scalars undergo multiple turns during inflation, thanks to sub-Planckian physics.

  1. The Exact and Approximate Tales of Boost-Breaking Cosmological Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The tree-level boost-breaking cosmological collider seed correlator is computed exactly for general sound speed and chemical potential, and saddle-point methods turn it into practical elementary-function templates.

  2. Large deviations for halos and voids: beyond perturbative non-gaussianities

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Excursion-set halo and void abundances are derived for exponential-tailed non-Gaussian fluctuations, giving new first-passage-time formulas and a void-size-function series.
