Inflation and primordial black holes

O Özsoy, G Tasinato - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
We review conceptual aspects of inflationary scenarios able to produce primordial black
holes by amplifying the size of curvature fluctuations to the level required to trigger black …

Large fluctuations and primordial black holes

S Choudhury, M Sami - Physics Reports, 2025 - Elsevier
In this paper, we review in detail different mechanisms of generation of large primordial
fluctuations and their implications for the production of primordial black holes (PBHs) and …

One-loop corrections in power spectrum in single field inflation

H Firouzjahi - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the one-loop correction in curvature perturbation power spectrum in models of
single field inflation which undergo a phase of ultra slow-roll (USR) inflation. We include the …

Steepest growth of the power spectrum and primordial black holes

CT Byrnes, PS Cole, SP Patil - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive analytic bounds on the shape of the primordial power spectrum in the context of
single-field inflation. In particular, the steepest possible growth has a spectral index of ns …

No-go for the formation of heavy mass Primordial Black Holes in Single Field Inflation

S Choudhury, MR Gangopadhyay, M Sami - The European Physical …, 2024 - Springer
We examine the possibility of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) formation in single field models
of inflation. Using the adiabatic or wave function renormalization scheme in the short range …

Ruling out primordial black hole formation from single-field inflation

J Kristiano, J Yokoyama - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.03395, 2022 - arxiv.org
The most widely studied formation mechanism of a primordial black hole (PBH) is collapse
of large-amplitude perturbation on small scales generated in single-field inflation. In this …

Highly non-Gaussian tails and primordial black holes from single-field inflation

YF Cai, XH Ma, M Sasaki, DG Wang… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
For primordial perturbations, deviations from Gaussian statistics on the tail of the probability
distribution can be associated with non-perturbative effects of inflation. In this paper, we …

Ultra-slow-roll inflation with quantum diffusion

C Pattison, V Vennin, D Wands… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the effect of quantum diffusion on the dynamics of the inflaton during a period of
ultra-slow-roll inflation. We extend the stochastic-δ Script N formalism to the ultra-slow-roll …

Non-Gaussian tail of the curvature perturbation in stochastic ultraslow-roll inflation: implications for primordial black hole production

DG Figueroa, S Raatikainen, S Räsänen, E Tomberg - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
We consider quantum diffusion in ultraslow-roll (USR) inflation. Using the Δ N formalism, we
present the first stochastic calculation of the probability distribution P (R) of the curvature …

Implications of stochastic effects for primordial black hole production in ultra-slow-roll inflation

DG Figueroa, S Raatikainen, S Räsänen… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the impact of stochastic noise on the generation of primordial black hole (PBH)
seeds in ultra-slow-roll (USR) inflation with numerical simulations. We consider the non …
