abstract
We demonstrate the explicit realisation of the ultra-slow roll phase in the framework of the effective field theory of single-field Galileon inflation. The pulsar timing array (PTA) collaboration hints at the scalar-induced gravity waves (SIGW) from the early universe as an explanation for the origin of the observed signal, which, however, leads to an enhancement in the amplitude of the scalar power spectrum giving rise to the overproduction of primordial black holes (PBHs). In the setup under consideration, we examine the generation of SIGW consistent with PTA (NANOGrav15 and EPTA) data, in addition to which we also consider the impact from QCD crossover at the nHz frequencies and address the PBH overproduction issue assuming linear approximations for the over-density without incorporating non-Gaussian effects from the comoving curvature perturbation. The framework is shown to give rise to SIGWs well consistent with the PTA signal with comfortable PBH abundance, $10^{-3} \lesssim f_{\rm PBH} < 1$, of near solar-mass black holes.

Spectator Axions in String Inflation and Primordial Black Holes
In Fibre Inflation, spectator axions with f≲0.1 M_Pl leave the PBH power spectrum unchanged, while for f≳0.1 M_Pl and exponentially small non-perturbative prefactors they can raise P_R from 1.9e-4 to 3.5e-3 and enable...

Superhorizon curvature perturbations in hybrid inflation revisited
Hybrid inflation's waterfall tachyonic instability grows isocurvature modes that convert to curvature perturbations at the field-space turn, yielding a k^{3}-peaked spectrum with always-positive f_NL that enhances PBH...

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

A complete analysis of inflation with piecewise quadratic potential
A new parameter alpha governs the amplitude, slope, and dip of the curvature power spectrum in piecewise quadratic two-stage inflation, with maximum growth k^5(log k)^2.

Two-loop corrections in power spectrum in models of inflation with PBHs formation
The two-loop 'double scoop' diagram correction in USR inflation scales as the square of the one-loop correction, confirming that sharp transitions make the loop expansion unreliable.

Gravitational Waves from Primordial Black Holes formed by Null Energy Condition Violation during Inflation
A transient null-energy-condition violation during inflation is shown to produce a four-component gravitational-wave background — primordial, scalar-induced, PBH ringdown, and binary-merger — with only the solar-mass ...

EFT Perspective On de-Sitter S-Matrix
In a carefully chosen limit, the de Sitter scattering amplitude is written as an integral transform of the flat-space amplitude, and requiring energy conservation on exceptional de Sitter scalars reproduces DBI and Sp...
