It is shown that in a number of scalar potentials with an unstable local maximum at the origin chaotic inflation is followed by new inflation if model parameters are appropriately chosen. In this model density fluctuation can have a large-amplitude peak on the comoving Hubble scale at the onset of the slow-roll new inflation and can result in formation of appreciable amount of primordial black holes on astrophysically interesting mass scales.

  1. UV artefacts in ultra-slow-roll models of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.

  2. How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.

  3. Superhorizon curvature perturbations in hybrid inflation revisited

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hybrid inflation's waterfall tachyonic instability grows isocurvature modes that convert to curvature perturbations at the field-space turn, yielding a k^{3}-peaked spectrum with always-positive f_NL that enhances PBH...

  4. Inflationary background renormalization

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In single-field inflation, imposing a zero one-point function for the curvature perturbation leaves a finite, scheme-dependent one-loop correction to the two-point function that background renormalization cannot absorb.

  5. Reconstructing Primordial Curvature Perturbations via Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves with LISA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LISA can reconstruct the primordial curvature power spectrum from scalar-induced gravitational waves, with percent-level precision near the peak and Bayesian tests separating SIGWs from other sources.

  6. PBH in single field inflation: the effect of shape dispersion and non-Gaussianities

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a barrier single-field inflation model, primordial black holes form preferentially from false-vacuum bubbles once f_NL exceeds about 3.5, and shape dispersion has little effect on the compaction threshold.

  7. Lattice study of primordial black hole formation in bumpy axion inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations of bumpy axion U(1) inflation in the strong backreaction regime generate curvature perturbations large enough for primordial black holes to comprise all dark matter.

  8. The Magnetic Origin of Primordial Black Holes: Ultralight PBHs and Secondary GWs

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Inflationary magnetic fields induce curvature perturbations that form ultralight PBHs, generating a stochastic GW background with model-specific features.

  9. Implications for Pulsar Timing Arrays of Sub-solar Black Hole Detections: From LVK to Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Bayesian analysis shows that a future sub-solar PBH detection would make the primordial SIGW interpretation of PTA data favored over the SMBH interpretation, but this preference is driven by the detection prior.

  10. The Magnetic Origin of Primordial Black Holes: A Viable Dark Matter Scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes formed from magnetically induced density fluctuations could explain all dark matter, but only in a finely tuned parameter window.

  11. Non-Standard Thermal History and Formation of Primordial Black Holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A tuned Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation model can create primordial black holes from asteroid-sized to tens of solar masses and secondary gravitational waves, with abundances that change dramatically in a stiff post-i...

  12. A complete analysis of inflation with piecewise quadratic potential

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new parameter alpha governs the amplitude, slope, and dip of the curvature power spectrum in piecewise quadratic two-stage inflation, with maximum growth k^5(log k)^2.

  13. Gravitational Waves from Primordial Black Holes: Connecting Low-Frequency Scalar-Induced Signatures to High-Frequency Binary Mergers

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    For monochromatic primordial black holes, the low-frequency scalar-induced gravitational-wave peak and the high-frequency binary-merger ISCO frequency are linked by fISCO ≈ 3.4×10^20 Hz × (fSIGW/Hz)^2.

  14. Sub-Horizon Amplification of Curvature Perturbations: A New Route to Primordial Black Holes and Gravitational Waves

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Any negative value of the second slow-roll parameter can amplify the scalar power spectrum through sub-horizon growth, so the usual ultra-slow-roll requirement of epsilon2 <= -6 is not necessary.

  15. Constraints on Primordial Black Holes

    astro-ph.CO 2020-02 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Updated compilation shows PBHs are tightly constrained across 55 orders of magnitude in mass, ruling out dominant dark matter contributions except in narrow windows, with many limits carrying observational uncertainties.

  16. Scalar induced gravitational waves review

    gr-qc 2021-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review that unifies analytical expressions for scalar-induced gravitational waves and emphasizes calculations for non-radiation-dominated cosmologies.
