contents The conservation of super-horizon curvature perturbations in strongly interacting inflationary models, particularly in the presence of quantum-loop corrections, remains a topic of active debate. We found that this conservation is essentially a direct consequence of the symmetry in perturbation theory. We demonstrate that the associated Ward identity imposes strict non-perturbative constraints on the infrared power spectrum. This finding provides a rigorous, symmetry-based framework for understanding nonlinear quantum fluctuations in the primordial universe.
