Signatures of non-gaussianity in the isocurvature modes of primordial black hole dark matter

S Young, CT Byrnes - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes which may have formed very early on during
the radiation dominated era in the early universe. We present here a method by which the …

Stochastic dynamics of multi-waterfall hybrid inflation and formation of primordial black holes
