abstract
The abundance of primordial black holes changes in the presence of local non-Gaussianity. A positive non-linear parameter $f_{NL}$ increases the abundance while a negative one reduces it. We show that in non-attractor single-field models of inflation which enhance the curvature power spectrum and may give rise to primordial black holes, $f_{NL}$ is always positive, when computed in correspondence of the peak of the curvature power spectrum where the primordial black hole abundance has its maximum. This implies that the interpretation of the recent pulsar timing arrays data from scalar-induced gravitational waves generated at primordial black hole formation may not be supported by invoking non-Gaussianity within non-attractor single-field models.

Trispectrum in Extended USR Model with Transition to SR
In the two-phase USR-SR inflation model, g_NL = 25 h^3 / (3 (h-6)^3) and tau_NL = 9 h^4 / (h-6)^4, confirmed by both delta-N and in-in formalisms.

Axion USR Inflation
In axion inflation with an intermediate ultra-slow-roll phase, the instability parameter collapses at the start of USR, terminating gauge production and yielding a two-peak power spectrum with P_R ∝ k^m, m>4.

Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves
Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability allows narrow curvature spectra to exponentially suppress primordial black hole overproduction via correlation coefficient ρ approaching -1 while retaining s...

Are Primordial Black Holes Truly Fine-Tuned?
Using a normalized sensitivity measure γ=c/c̄, the authors find γ≈1 for three single-field ultra-slow-roll inflation models and conclude PBH production is not technically unnatural.
