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…
Anatomy of single-field inflationary models for primordial black holes
Alexandros Karam, Niko Koivunen, Eemeli Tomberg +2
We construct an analytically solvable simplified model that captures the essential features for primordial black hole (PBH) production in most models of single-field inflation. The…
The Linear Regime of Tachyonic Preheating
Niko Koivunen, Eemeli Tomberg, Hardi Veermäe
Tachyonic preheating is realized when the inflaton repeatedly returns to a convex region of the potential during the post-inflationary oscillating phase. This will induce a strong…
