As potential candidates of dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) are within the core scopes of various astronomical observations. In light of the explosive development of gravitational wave (GW) and radio astronomy, we thoroughly analyze a stochastic background of cosmological GWs, induced by over large primordial density perturbations, with several spikes that was inspired by the sound speed resonance effect and can predict a particular pattern on the mass spectrum of PBHs. With a specific mechanicsm for PBHs formation, we for the first time perform the study of such induced GWs that originate from both the inflationary era and the radiation-dominated phase. We report that, besides the traditional process of generating GWs during the radiation-dominated phase, the contribution of the induced GWs in the sub-Hubble regime during inflation can become significant at critical frequency band because of a narrow resonance effect. All contributions sum together to yield a specific profile of the energy spectrum of GWs that can be of observable interest in forthcoming astronomical experiments. Our study shed light on the possible joint probe of PBHs via various observational windows of multi-messenger astronomy, including the search for electromagnetic effects with astronomical telescopes and the stochastic background of relic GWs with GW instruments.

  1. Spectrum of third-order tensor perturbations induced by excited scalar fields

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For exponentially amplified scalar modes during inflation, the third-order gravitational wave spectrum grows faster than the one-loop spectrum and dominates before the signal becomes detectable, breaking perturbation theory.

  2. Magnetically assisted primordial scalar perturbations: Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    PMF-sourced scalar perturbations during a kination-like reheating can induce a gravitational-wave background that dominates over the direct PMF tensor signal and may be detectable at mHz-kHz frequencies.

  3. Evading the CMB $\mu$-distortion bound on Supermassive Primordial Black Hole seeds with Non-Gaussian tails

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under the FIRAS μ-distortion variance cap, power-law and heavy log-normal PDF tails can yield seed-relevant PBH abundances, while Gaussian and ordinary exponential tails cannot.

  4. Scalar-induced gravitational waves from a box-shaped curvature power spectrum

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Analytic SIGW spectra for a log-box curvature power spectrum: narrow-box geometric overlap factor turning IR slope k^{3}ln^{2}k into k^{2}ln^{2}k, plus broad-box product of universal edge functions.

  5. One-loop corrections to infrared GWs is forbidden by symmetries

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In non-attractor single-field inflation, one-loop corrections to superhorizon gravitational waves cancel, and a Ward identity explains why.
