abstract
We consider the pre-big bang scenario with a massive axion field which starts to dominate energy density when oscillating in an instanton-induced potential and subsequently reheats the universe as it decays into photons, thus creating adiabatic CMB perturbations. We find that the fluctuations in the axion field can give rise to a nearly flat spectrum of adiabatic perturbations with a spectral tilt $\Delta n$ in the range $-0.1 \lesssim \Delta n \lesssim 1$.

Searching for Folded Primordial Non-Gaussianity with Galaxy Surveys
The galaxy bispectrum, not the power spectrum, is the main probe of folded primordial non-Gaussianity; narrow folded signals are washed out by Fourier-space binning.

First Search for Kaluza-Klein Gravitons and Radion Using Planck Data
First Planck search for radion and KK-graviton bispectra finds no significant non-Gaussianity (max 1.8σ at m_KK ≈ 1.6H), while a warped 5D model can yield f_NL ~ 1–50.

Are Primordial Black Holes a Natural Dark Matter Candidate?
PBH dark matter spans all naturalness tiers, with some mechanisms as natural as WIMPs or freeze-in particles, determined by abundance map structure rather than candidate type.

Scalar-induced gravitational waves with non-Gaussianity up to all orders
Lattice simulations directly calculate SIGW spectra with non-Gaussianity to all orders and show that modest non-Gaussianity alters ultraviolet spectral behavior.

Reviving the Affleck-Dine Curvaton Scenario with Compensated Isocurvature Perturbations
The Affleck-Dine field can act as both baryogenesis engine and curvaton if gravitino dark matter, produced before curvaton decay, supplies the compensating isocurvature perturbation that hides the baryon isocurvature ...

Is there ghost and tachyon free bounce in UV complete gravity theory?
Ghost- and tachyon-free bounces in AID gravity require a negative cosmological constant; known positive-Λ solutions inevitably contain ghost radiation.

Memoirs of the curvaton: non-perturbative non-Gaussianity and supermassive primordial black holes
Curvaton self-interactions in non-quadratic potentials produce a local non-Gaussian map that enables supermassive primordial black hole formation at peak amplitudes of order 10^{-5} while remaining consistent with μ-d...

The Irrelevance of Primordial Black Hole Clustering in the LVK mass range
Initial spatial clustering of primordial black holes is irrelevant for binary mergers in the LVK mass range because FIRAS spectral-distortion constraints limit the clustering scale to below the merger-relevant separat...

Tachyonic Encore: A universal shift of inflationary observables
A light axion spectator induces post-inflation tachyonic phases that produce a nearly scale-invariant boost to the curvature power spectrum and alter key inflationary observables in a largely potential-independent manner.

Stochastic Gravitational Waves from Modulated Reheating
A spectator scalar in modulated reheating with large Higgs-like couplings generates detectable scalar-induced stochastic gravitational waves for BBO and DECIGO, but only outside perturbative low-energy extrapolations.
