Multiple pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently announced the evidence of common-spectral processes caused by gravitational waves (GWs). These can be the stochastic GW background and its origin may be astrophysical and/or cosmological. We interpret it as the GWs induced by the primordial curvature perturbations and discuss their implications on primordial black holes (PBHs). We show that the newly released data suggest PBHs much lighter than the Sun ($\mathcal{O}(10^{-4}) \, M_\odot$ for the delta-function curvature spectrum; $< \mathcal{O}(10^{-2})\, M_\odot$ more generally) in contrast to what was expected from the previous PTA data releases.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Rare coherent shape deformations of primordial curvature profiles can dominate primordial black hole abundance by lowering the collapse threshold enough to overcome their Gaussian statistical cost.

    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.
