E'er love his neighbour like his ease?
Or he who feels ambition's flame
Loves he his neighbour like his fame?

Can't love their neighbour as themselves.

Moment transport equations for non-Gaussianity
Sloth, On the one loop corrections to inflation.
Moment transport equations for non-Gaussianity
This q-loop has been computed by Sloth [51, 52] in the limit where t∗ is long after the mode with wavenumber k ∼ k1 = k2 exited the horizon, and has recently been given in Ref. in the opposite case where t∗ is the horizon-crossing time associated with k .
One-loop corrections to the curvature perturbation from inflation
The loop correction evaluated long after horizon crossing has been computed by Sloth [51, 52] in terms of the variance hδφ2i ≡ R d ln q P (q), which is in principle a infrared divergent quantity and should be cut off at a momentum scale of order the box size, q ∼ ℓ, if P does not vanish as q → 0.
One-loop corrections to the curvature perturbation from inflation
These conclusions are in qualitative agreement with the results of Sloth , who found corrections of O(1) for inflation beginning at the self-reproduction scale.
