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 …

PBHs and GWs from 𝕋2-inflation and NANOGrav 15-year data

SAH Mansoori, F Felegary, A Talebian… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism in Bbb T 2-inflation to enhance the power
spectrum large enough to seed primordial black holes (PBHs) formation. To accomplish this …

Quantum loop effects on the power spectrum and constraints on primordial black holes

S Choudhury, S Panda, M Sami - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a detailed exposition on the prospects of the formation of Primordial Black Holes
(PBHs) during Slow Roll (SR) to Ultra Slow Roll (USR) sharp transitions in the framework of …

Squeezed bispectrum and one-loop corrections in transient constant-roll inflation

H Motohashi, Y Tada - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In canonical single-field inflation, the production of primordial black holes (PBH) requires a
transient violation of the slow-roll condition. The transient ultra slow-roll inflation is an …

Galileon inflation evades the no-go for PBH formation in the single-field framework

S Choudhury, S Panda, M Sami - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider Galileon inflation in the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework and examine
the possibility for PBH formation during slow roll (SR) to ultra slow roll (USR) transitions. We …

Gravitational wave signatures of no-scale supergravity in NANOGrav and beyond

S Basilakos, DV Nanopoulos, T Papanikolaou… - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
In this Letter, we derive for the first time a characteristic three-peaked GW signal within the
framework of no-scale Supergravity, being the low-energy limit of Superstring theory. We …

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 …

Gravitational wave background from quintessential inflation and NANOGrav data

B Das, N Jaman, M Sami - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the production process of induced gravity waves due to large scalar
fluctuations in the paradigm of quintessential inflation. We numerically solve the Mukhanov …

Induced gravitational waves from ultra slow-roll inflation and pulsar timing arrays observations

H Firouzjahi, A Talebian - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) detected recently by the pulsar timing
arrays (PTAs) observations may have cosmological origins. In this work we consider a …
