abstract
We show that there exists a simple mechanism which can enhance the amplitude of curvature perturbations on superhorizon scales during inflation, relative to their amplitude at horizon crossing. The enhancement may occur even in a single-field inflaton model, and occurs if the quantity $a\dot\phi/H$ becomes sufficiently small, as compared to its value at horizon crossing, for some time interval during inflation. We give a criterion for this enhancement in general single-field inflation models.

UV artefacts in ultra-slow-roll models of inflation
Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.

How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?
In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.

When the Environment Speaks: Quantum Signatures in Non-Attractor Inflation
An open quantum system treatment of curvature perturbations during Ultra-Slow-Roll inflation shows that environmental decoherence erases the interference dip, modifies the growth slope, and induces oscillatory feature...

When inflationary perturbations refuse to classicalise: the role of non-Gaussianity in Wigner negativity
In ultra-slow-roll inflation, the Wigner function of the inflationary Goldstone field becomes negative and its negativity grows with the scale factor squared, so the perturbations do not automatically become classical.

Stochastic Inflation in Numerical Relativity
Numerical simulations using BSSN numerical relativity reproduce the expected evolution of stochastic inflation in both slow-roll and ultra slow-roll regimes while retaining gradients and anisotropic expansion.

Probing Primordial Black Hole Mergers in Clusters with Pulsar Timing Data

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.

A new parameter alpha governs the amplitude, slope, and dip of the curvature power spectrum in piecewise quadratic two-stage inflation, with maximum growth k^5(log k)^2.

Stochastic inflation and non-perturbative power spectrum beyond slow roll
A numerical stochastic ΔN code reproduces the slow-roll power spectrum and shows that the time-independent non-perturbative spectrum fails at ultra-slow-roll transitions.
