Understanding the Nature of Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves

A. J. Iovino, G. Perna, D. Perrone +2

We offer a physical interpretation of the origin of the scalar-induced gravitational wave background, showing that it is mainly produced around the peaks of the scalar perturbation…

Closing the Mass Window for Stupendously Large Black Holes

Christopher Gerlach, Yann Gouttenoire, Antonio J. Iovino +1

We show that primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range () produce isocurvature perturbations exceeding cu…

From new physics to a running power law and back again: Minimal refitting techniques for the reconstruction of the gravitational-wave background signal in pulsar timing array data

David Esmyol, Antonio J. Iovino, Kai Schmitz

Pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently presented evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) signal at nanohertz frequencies. In this paper, we introduce new refi…

Fractional attractors in light of the latest ACT observations

Christian Dioguardi, Antonio J. Iovino, Antonio Racioppi

In light of the latest results from ACT observations we review a class of potentials labeled as fractional attractors, that can originate from Palatini gravity. We show that, for c…

The Irrelevance of Primordial Black Hole Clustering in the LVK mass range

F. Crescimbeni, V. Desjacques, G. Franciolini +6

We show that in realistic models where primordial black holes are formed due to the collapse of sizeable inflationary perturbations, their initial spatial clustering beyond Poisson…

Cosmic Whispers of the Early Universe: Gravitational Waves and Dark Matter from Primordial Black Holes

Antonio Junior Iovino

Various mechanisms have been suggested for the formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), and this thesis focuses on the standard mechanism based on the critical collapse of cosmo…
