Constant-Roll Inflation: Analytical Formulae for Power Spectrum and Implications for Induced Gravitational Waves

Hayato Motohashi, Shi Pi, Yuichiro Tada +1

Constant-roll inflation provides a simple and analytically tractable framework for describing transient departures from slow roll, including non-attractor phases that can enhance t…

Natura Non Facit Saltum: An Analytical Model of Smooth Slow-Roll to Ultra-Slow-Roll Transition

Diego Cruces, Minxi He, Shi Pi +3

In this letter, we propose a single-field inflation model that realizes a slow-roll-to-ultra-slow-roll transition while keeping the second slow-roll parameter smoothly varying thro…

Unveiling Primordial Black Hole Relics Through Induced Gravitational Waves

Misao Sasaki, Jianing Wang

Black hole relics are of significant interest in cosmology and theoretical physics. In this work, we consider tiny primordial black holes (PBHs) ( $M_{\text {PBH }} \lesssim 10^7 \…

Primordial Black Hole Formation from Power Spectrum with Finite-width

Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov +1

Primordial black holes (PBHs) can form from gravitational collapse of large overdensities in the early Universe, giving rise to rich phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology. We dev…

Revisiting the Ultraviolet Tail of the Primordial Gravitational Wave

Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, Ao Wang +1

High-frequency primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) with wave numbers larger than the Hubble parameter at the end of inflation are originated from the ultraviolet (UV) modes, whic…

Primordial Black Hole Formation in Starobinsky's Linear Potential Model

Shi Pi, Jianing Wang

We study the power spectrum of the comoving curvature perturbation in the model that glues two linear potentials of different slopes, originally proposed by Starobinsky. W…
