Description

Using perturbation theory, we compute the one-point probability density function for primordial fluctuations valid to first order in the potential. We examine under which conditions our solution respects the Fokker-Planck equation encountered within the stochastic approach. We identify discrepancies and elucidate their origins, allowing us to shed light on the status of the stochastic formalism.
