Missing one-loop contributions in secondary gravitational waves

C Chen, A Ota, HY Zhu, Y Zhu - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We find several missing one-loop-order contributions in previous considerations about
secondary gravitational waves induced at nonlinear order in cosmological perturbations. We …

Growth of curvature perturbations for PBH formation & detectable GWs in non-minimal curvaton scenario revisited

C Chen, A Ghoshal, Z Lalak, Y Luo… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the growth of curvature perturbations in non-minimal curvaton scenario with a non-
trivial field metric λ (ϕ) where ϕ is an inflaton field, and incorporate the effect from the non …

Gravitational wave production from axion rotations right after a transition to kination

K Harigaya, K Inomata, T Terada - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Rotations of axion fields in the early Universe can produce dark matter and the matter-
antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. We point out that the rotation can generate an …

We investigate the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) in the Chern-Simons (CS)
gravity with a dynamical scalar field during slow roll inflation. Due to the parity violation in …

One-loop tensor power spectrum from an excited scalar field during inflation

A Ota, M Sasaki, Y Wang - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present a consistent one-loop calculation for the inflationary tensor power spectrum in
the presence of an excited spectator scalar field using the in-in formalism. We find that the …

Sudden braking and turning with a two-field potential bump: primordial black hole formation

C Fu, C Chen - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the amplification of curvature perturbations in a two-field inflation model
featuring a Gaussian potential bump. When the inflaton encounters a potential bump along …
