We resolve the potential-restriction problem in K/G inflation by introducing nonminimal coupling. In this context, Higgs field successfully drives inflation satisfying CMB observations while enhancing curvature perturbations at small scales, which in turn accounts for primordial black holes (PBHs) and scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs). We then uncover the effect of the non-canonical kinetic coupling function in more detail and study its the observational constraint. Besides, we also give the gauge invariant expression for the integral kernel of SIGWs, which is related to terms propagating with the speed of light. Finally, the non-Gaussian effect on PBH abundance and SIGWs is studied. We find that non-Gaussianity makes PBHs form more easily, but its effect on the energy density of SIGWs is negligible.

  1. 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

    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.

  2. Isotropy, anisotropies and non-Gaussianity in the scalar-induced gravitational-wave background: diagrammatic approach for primordial non-Gaussianity up to arbitrary order

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Extends diagrammatic approach for scalar-induced gravitational waves to arbitrary-order local PNG, deriving semi-analytic spectra for energy density, anisotropies, bispectrum and trispectrum up to quartic terms.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Under a FIRAS variance cap, ordinary exponential non-attractor tails cannot seed 10^5–10^7 M⊙ PBHs, but algebraic and sufficiently heavy log-normal tails can.

  4. Running into tension: primordial black holes from ultra-slow-roll inflation, spectral running, and the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    EDE models increase inferred α_s from CMB data, strengthening tension with USR PBH models that predict negative running.
