Evading the BBN bound with a soft stiff period
Lucy Brissenden, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Eemeli Tomberg
Cosmic inflation is the leading theory to explain early Universe history and structure formation. Non-oscillatory inflation is a class of models which can naturally introduce a pos…
Effect of stochastic kicks on primordial black hole abundance and mass via the compaction function
Sami Raatikainen, Syksy Rasanen, Eemeli Tomberg
We study stochastic effects in viable ultra-slow-roll inflation models that produce primordial black holes. We consider asteroid, solar, and supermassive black hole seed masses. In…
Eternal inflation near inflection points: a challenge to primordial black hole models
Eemeli Tomberg, Konstantinos Dimopoulos
Inflation with an inflection point potential is a popular model for producing primordial black holes. The potential near the inflection point is approximately flat, with a local ma…
How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?
Vadim Briaud, Alexandros Karam, Niko Koivunen +3
We study linear scalar perturbations in single-field models of inflation featuring a non-attractor phase. These models lead to a peak in the curvature power spectrum that may resul…
