Scalar Perturbations

Abstract Light fields with spatially varying backgrounds can modulate cosmic preheating, and imprint the nonlinear effects of preheating dynamics at tiny scales on large scale fluctuations. This provides us a unique probe into the preheating era which we dub the “cosmic microscope”. We identify a distinctive effect of preheating on scalar perturbations that turns the Gaussian primordial fluctuations of a light scalar field into square waves, like a diode. The effect manifests itself as local non-Gaussianity. We present a model, “modulated partial preheating”, where this nonlinear effect is consistent with current observations and can be reached by near future cosmic probes.

The probability for quantum creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes has been studied in semiclassical approximation with Hartle–Hawking boundary conditions, assuming a gravitational action which includes a quadratic term in the scalar curvature αR2, α being a constant. The action of the instanton responsible for creating such a universe, with a spatial section with S1×S2 topology, is seen to be less than that of a de Sitter S3 instanton, unless α<-1/(8Λ), where Λ is the cosmological constant. Since negative α implies a classical instability, the probability for production of primordial black holes seems to be suppressd in R2-theory.

Scalar Perturbations

Abstract It is well known that primordial black hole (PBH) can be generated in inflation process of the early universe, especially when the inflaton field has some non-trivial features that could break the slow-roll condition. In this paper, we investigate a toy model of inflation with bumpy potential, which has one or several bumps. We found that potential with multi-bump can give rise to power spectra with multi peaks in small-scale region, which can in turn predict the generation of primordial black holes in various mass ranges. We also consider the two possibilities of PBH formation by spherical collapse and elliptical collapse. And discusses the scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) generated by the second-order scalar perturbations.
