Primordial black holes and gravitational waves from nonminimally coupled supergravity inflation

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the formation of primordial black holes and the generation of gravitational waves in
a class of cosmological models that are direct supersymmetric analogs of the …

Multi-field inflation with large scalar fluctuations: non-Gaussianity and perturbativity

L Iacconi, DJ Mulryne - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Recently multi-field inflation models that can produce large scalar fluctuations on small
scales have drawn a lot of attention, primarily because they could lead to primordial black …

Primordial black holes in Higgs-R2 inflation as the whole of dark matter

DY Cheong, SM Lee, SC Park - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Primordial black holes are produced in a minimal UV extension to the Higgs inflation with an
included R 2 term. We show that for parameters consistent with Standard Model …

Primordial fluctuations and non-Gaussianities in sidetracked inflation

S Garcia-Saenz, S Renaux-Petel… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Heavy scalar fields can undergo an instability during inflation as a result of their kinetic
couplings with the inflaton. This is known as the geometrical destabilization of inflation, as it …

Primordial black holes from modified supergravity

Y Aldabergenov, A Addazi, SV Ketov - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
The modified supergravity approach is applied to describe a formation of Primordial Black
Holes (PBHs) after Starobinsky inflation. Our approach naturally leads to the two-(scalar) …

The cosmological flow: a systematic approach to primordial correlators

L Pinol, S Renaux-Petel, D Werth - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.06559, 2023 - arxiv.org
The time evolution of primordial fluctuations conceals a wealth of insights into the high-
energy physics at play during the earliest moments of our Universe, which is ultimately …

Attractor behaviour in multifield inflation

P Carrilho, D Mulryne, J Ronayne… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We study multifield inflation in scenarios where the fields are coupled non-minimally to
gravity via ξ I (ϕ I) ng μν R μν, where ξ I are coupling constants, ϕ I the fields driving inflation …

Inflation, SUSY breaking, and primordial black holes in modified supergravity coupled to chiral matter

Y Aldabergenov, A Addazi, SV Ketov - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
We propose a novel model of the modified (Starobinsky-like) old-minimal-type supergravity
coupled to a chiral matter superfield, that can simultaneously describe multi-field inflation …

Large slow-roll corrections to the bispectrum of noncanonical inflation

C Burrage, RH Ribeiro, D Seery - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Nongaussian statistics are a powerful discriminant between inflationary models, particularly
those with noncanonical kinetic terms. Focusing on theories where the Lagrangian is an …

Numerical evaluation of the bispectrum in multiple field inflation—the transport approach with code

M Dias, J Frazer, DJ Mulryne… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a complete framework for numerical calculation of the power spectrum and
bispectrum in canonical inflation with an arbitrary number of light or heavy fields. Our …
