abstract
We construct cosmological long-wavelength solutions without symmetry in general gauge conditions compatible with the long-wavelength scheme. We then specify the relationship among the solutions in different time slicings. Applying this general framework to spherical symmetry, we derive the correspondence relation between long-wavelength solutions in the constant mean curvature slicing with conformally flat spatial coordinates and asymptotic quasihomogeneous solutions in the comoving gauge and compare the numerical results of PBH formation in these two different approaches. To discuss the PBH formation, it is convenient and conventional to use $\tilde{\delta}_{c}$, the value which the averaged density perturbation at threshold in the comoving slicing would take at horizon entry in the lowest-order long-wavelength expansion. We numerically find that within compensated models, the sharper the transition from the overdense region to the FRW universe is, the larger the $\tilde{\delta}_{c}$ becomes. We suggest that, for the equation of state $p=(\Gamma-1)\rho$, we can apply the analytic formulas for the minimum $\tilde{\delta}_{c, {\rm min}}\simeq [3\Gamma/(3\Gamma+2)]\sin^{2}\left[\pi\sqrt{\Gamma-1}/(3\Gamma-2)\right]$ and the maximum $\tilde{\delta}_{c, {\rm max}}\simeq 3\Gamma/(3\Gamma+2)$. As for the threshold peak value of the curvature variable $\psi_{0,c}$, we find that the sharper the transition is, the smaller the $\psi_{0,c}$ becomes. We analytically explain this feature. Using simplified models, we also analytically deduce an environmental effect that $\psi_{0,c}$ can be significantly larger (smaller) if the underlying density perturbation of much longer wavelength is positive (negative).

Computes the dimensionless spin parameter s = J/(G_N M^2) of false vacuum bubbles from density and velocity perturbations in FOPTs, yielding values from O(10^{-5}) to O(10) and a scaling relation with FOPT timescale, wall velocity, and temperature ratio.
Curvaton self-interactions in non-quadratic potentials produce a local non-Gaussian map that enables supermassive primordial black hole formation at peak amplitudes of order 10^{-5} while remaining consistent with μ-distortion bounds.
Covariant analysis of curvature perturbations from first-order phase transitions reveals gauge-dependent overestimation of primordial black holes and gravitational waves in prior non-covariant calculations, leading to strong suppression of both signals.
Hybrid inflation produces enhanced curvature perturbations with a broad power spectrum peak featuring k^3 infrared growth and positive f_NL fixed by tachyonic waterfall geometry, potentially accounting for PBH dark matter and LISA-detectable SGWB.
In excursion set theory with colored noises, the low-mass tail of the PBH mass function differs from Carr's formula because correlated noises end the degeneracy of formation probabilities, though Carr's formula remains practical near the characteristic mass for smooth Fourier-space window functions.
