Title: On the IR divergences in de Sitter: loops, resummation and the semi-classical wavefunction

Abstract: Detecting local Non-Gaussianity provides valuable insights into the early universe’s particle composition. Interactions between the inflaton and light particles yield distinctive signatures, potentially observable in upcoming surveys. However, addressing IR divergences in light fields on de Sitter spacetimes requires careful treatment. Stochastic inflation offers a solution, but its relationship with perturbative computations remains unclear.

In this presentation, we establish a precise connection between perturbation theory and stochastic formalism using the wavefunction formalism. We extend this analysis to multifield inflation models and clarify recent non-perturbative findings from stochastic inflation through their compatibility with perturbation theory calculations.
