Sudden braking and turning with a two-field potential bump: primordial black hole formation
arXiv:2211.11387 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2023/05/005
Abstract
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 the inflationary trajectory, its rolling speed is generally reduced, potentially causing a violation of the slow-roll condition. Consequently, the original decaying modes of comoving curvature perturbations during the slow-roll phase start growing, and lead to enhanced small-scale density perturbations which can produce amounts of primordial black holes (PBHs) and associated scalar-induced gravitational waves. In addition, inflaton also undergoes sudden turnings at the encounter of the Gaussian potential bump, which is insignificant to the overall curvature power spectrum due to the short duration of these turns. Our paper offers a simple example of the extension of a bump-like potential for PBH formation in a single-field inflation to a two-field case, which helps alleviate the fine-tuning of initial conditions to some extent.
