Intrinsic non-Gaussianity of ultra slow-roll inflation

Guillermo Ballesteros, Jesús Gambín Egea, Thomas Konstandin +3

We study the non-Gaussian tail of the curvature fluctuation, , in an inflationary scenario with a transient ultra slow-roll phase that generates a localized large enhancement of…

Finite parts of inflationary loops

Guillermo Ballesteros, Jesús Gambín Egea, Flavio Riccardi

We present a method for solving loop integrals in dimensional regularization that is particularly useful in the context of inflation. We apply this method to the calculation of the…

Primordial black hole formation from self-resonant preheating?

Guillermo Ballesteros, Joaquim Iguaz Juan, Paquale D. Serpico +1

We revisit the question of how generic is the formation of primordial black holes via self-resonant growth of inflaton fluctuations in the post-inflationary, preheating phase. Usin…

Non-Gaussian tails without stochastic inflation

Guillermo Ballesteros, Thomas Konstandin, Alejandro Pérez Rodríguez +2

We show, both analytically and numerically, that non-Gaussian tails in the probability density function of curvature perturbations arise in ultra-slow-roll inflation from the …

One-loop power spectrum in ultra slow-roll inflation and implications for primordial black hole dark matter

Guillermo Ballesteros, Jesús Gambín Egea

We apply the in-in formalism to address the question of whether the size of the one-loop spectrum of curvature fluctuations in ultra-slow-roll inflation models designed for produci…
