Original abstract

Using the effective field theory of multiple inflationary fluctuations, we present the first analytical calculation of the primordial bispectrum in which the quadratic mixing between curvature and isocurvature fluctuations is treated non-perturbatively. Building upon the operator representation of the exact linear solutions proposed in Ref.~\cite{Huenupi:2026abj}, we derive a simpler integral representation for these mixed mode functions. We prove that all scale-invariant tree-level bispectra reduce to a single vertex diagram, which can be evaluated with a Schwinger-parameter integral over independent pre-computable leg kernels. We showcase the power of our approach by considering the cubic time-derivative interaction $\dot{\pic}^3$, which leads to a purely single-field, equilateral phenomenology at small mixing. On the contrary, at strong mixing the obtained bispectrum shapes decorrelate from the equilateral template and become genuinely multifield, with a large amplitude, motivating a dedicated data analysis. The squeezed limit is obtained analytically in a closed form at any dimensionless mixing strength $\la$ for an isocurvature field of bare mass $m$ and features a cosmological collider signal set by $ν_{\rm eff} = i \muf=\sqrt{9/4-m^2/H^2-\la^2}$, with an effective mass dressed by $\la$, as previously evidenced in numerical or semi-analytical calculations. Our results encompass the $\la \ll 1$ limit of usual perturbative calculations, where the amplitude of the signal is necessarily small, but they also surpass them, thus opening a new analytical window into large multifield primordial non-Gaussianities.
