abstract
We study the formation of primordial black holes (PBH) with ultra-slow-roll inflation when stochastic effects are important. We use the $\Delta N$ formalism and simplify the stochastic equations with an analytical constant-roll approximation. Considering a viable inflation model, we find the spatial profile of the PBH compaction function numerically for each stochastic patch, without assumptions about Gaussianity or the radial profile. The stochastic effects that lead to an exponential tail for the density distribution also make the compaction function very spiky, unlike assumed in the literature. Naively using collapse thresholds found for smooth profiles, the PBH abundance is enhanced by up to a factor of $10^9$, and the PBH mass distribution is spread over three orders of magnitude in mass. The results point to a need to redo numerical simulations of PBH formation with spiky profiles.

The statistics of curvature-profile dispersion in primordial black hole formation
Shape dispersion around the average peak profile is a genuine statistical ingredient: rare deformed curvature profiles can dominate primordial black hole formation when the power spectrum is broad or non-Gaussianity i...

Unexpected shape of the primordial black hole mass function
A broad power spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations produces a bimodal primordial black hole mass function whose dominant peak is near the infrared scale, not the ultraviolet scale.

It\^{o}, Stratonovich, and zoom-in schemes in stochastic inflation
An alternating drift-and-kick 'zoom-in' scheme for stochastic inflation is equivalent to the Itô interpretation, and the Itô-Stratonovich difference vanishes in the full non-Markovian setup.

Evolution of Linear Perturbations under Time-Dependent Hubble Friction I: SR-USR-SR Inflation
Analytic asymptotics show the dip in the SR-USR-SR curvature power spectrum comes from cancellation between two growing modes, not a constant-versus-growing cancellation.

Primordial Black Hole Formation from the Upward Step Model: Avoiding Overproduction
In upward-step inflation, a non-Gaussian cutoff in curvature perturbations sharply suppresses type-I primordial black hole abundance for h above about 5.9, easing PTA overproduction constraints.

RG-Flow Renormalized One-Loop Corrections to the Power Spectrum in USR Inflation
A cutoff-regularized, in-in calculation of cubic, quartic, and tadpole one-loop corrections finds the USR fractional correction scales as P_CMB e^{6ΔN}, confirming the sharp-transition loop-enhancement debate's original side.
