Exploring the NANOGrav Signal and Planet-mass Primordial Black Holes through Higgs Inflation

Zhu Yi, Zhi-Qiang You, You Wu +2

The data recently released by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) provides compelling evidence supporting the existence of a stochastic sign…

Model-independent reconstruction of the primordial curvature power spectrum from PTA data

Zhu Yi, Zhi-Qiang You, You Wu

Recently released data from pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations provide strong evidence for a stochastic signal consistent with a gravitational-wave background, potentially or…

Confronting sound speed resonance with pulsar timing arrays

Jia-Heng Jin, Zu-Cheng Chen, Zhu Yi +3

The stochastic signal detected by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) has raised great interest in understanding its physical origin. Assuming the signal is a cosmological gravitational-wa…

Constraints on primordial curvature power spectrum with pulsar timing arrays

Zhi-Qiang You, Zhu Yi, You Wu

The stochastic signal detected by NANOGrav, PPTA, EPTA, and CPTA can be explained by the scalar-induced gravitational waves. In order to determine the scalar-induced gravitational…

Scalar induced gravitational waves in light of Pulsar Timing Array data

Zhu Yi, Qing Gao, Yungui Gong +2

The power-law parametrization for the energy density spectrum of gravitational wave (GW) background is a useful tool to study its physics and origin. While scalar induced secondary…

Constraints on peculiar velocity distribution of binary black holes using gravitational waves with GWTC-3

Zhi-Qiang You, Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu +4

Peculiar velocity encodes rich information about the formation, dynamics, evolution, and merging history of binary black holes. In this work, we employ a hierarchical Bayesian mode…

NANOGrav signal and LIGO-Virgo Primordial Black Holes from the Higgs field

Zhu Yi, Zong-Hong Zhu

We show that the NANOGrav signal can come from the Higgs field with a noncanonical kinetic term in terms of the scalar induced gravitational waves. The scalar induced gravitational…

On the constant-roll inflation with large and small

Qing Gao, Yungui Gong, Zhu Yi

We study the seemingly duality between large and small for the constant-roll inflation with the second slow-roll parameter being a constant. In the previous studies, on…

Gauss-Bonnet inflation and swampland

Zhu Yi, Yungui Gong

The two swampland criteria are generically in tension with the single field slow-roll inflation because the first swampland criterion requires small tensor to scalar ratio while th…

Inflation with Gauss-Bonnet coupling

Zhu Yi, Yungui Gong, Mudassar Sabir

We consider inflationary models with the inflaton coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term assuming a special relation between the two slow-roll parameters and . For…
