abstract

We examine the possibility of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) formation in single-field models of inflation. Using the adiabatic or wave function renormalization scheme in the short-range modes, we show that one-loop correction to the power spectrum is free from quadratic UV divergence. We consider a framework in which PBHs are produced during the transition from Slow Roll (SR) to Ultra Slow Roll (USR) followed by the end of inflation. We demonstrate that the renormalized power spectrum softens the contribution of the logarithmic IR divergence and severely restricts the possible mass range of produced PBHs in the said transition, namely, $M_{\rm PBH}\sim 10^{2}{\rm gm}$ ala a no-go theorem. In particular, we find that the produced PBHs are short-lived ($t^{\rm evap}_{\rm PBH}\sim 10^{-20}{\rm sec}$) and the corresponding number of e-folds in the USR region is restricted to $\Delta N_{\rm USR}\approx 2$.
