Higher order corrections to primordial spectra from cosmological inflation
read the original abstract
We calculate power spectra of cosmological perturbations at high accuracy for two classes of inflation models. We classify the models according to the behaviour of the Hubble distance during inflation. Our approximation works if the Hubble distance can be approximated either to be a constant or to grow linearly with cosmic time. Many popular inflationary models can be described in this way, e.g., chaotic inflation with a monomial potential, power-law inflation and inflation at a maximum. Our scheme of approximation does not rely on a slow-roll expansion. Thus we can make accurate predictions for some of the models with large slow-roll parameters.

Multifield stochastic inflation: Relevance of number of fields in statistical moments
Stochastic effects in multifield inflation make the number of fields relevant for e-fold statistics and power spectrum, with a general formula for higher moments and an upper bound on fields for successful inflation.

Inflation from a Weyl-flat null origin
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.

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