abstract

The curvature perturbation in a model of constant-roll (CR) inflation is interpreted in view of the logarithmic duality discovered in Ref. [1] according to the $\delta N$ formalism. We confirm that the critical value $\beta:=\ddot{\varphi}/(H\dot{\varphi})=-3/2$ determining whether the CR condition is stable or not is understood as the point at which the dual solutions, i.e., the attractor and non-attractor solutions of the field equation, are interchanged. For the attractor-solution domination, the curvature perturbation in the CR model is given by a simple logarithmic mapping of a Gaussian random field, which can realise both the exponential tail (i.e., the single exponential decay) and the Gumbel-distribution-like tail (i.e., the double exponential decay) of the probability density function, depending on the value of $\beta$. Such a tail behaviour is important for, e.g., the estimation of the primordial black hole abundance.

  1. How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.

  2. Harvesting primordial black holes from stochastic trees with $\texttt{FOREST}$

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A stochastic-branching-tree implementation of inflation, FOREST, computes curvature maps and primordial black hole mass functions with cloud-in-cloud effects included.

  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. Superhorizon curvature perturbations in hybrid inflation revisited

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  5. Evolution of Linear Perturbations under Time-Dependent Hubble Friction I: SR-USR-SR Inflation

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Analytic asymptotics show the dip in the SR-USR-SR curvature power spectrum comes from cancellation between two growing modes, not a constant-versus-growing cancellation.

  6. Constant-roll $\beta$-exponential inflation: Palatini formalism

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A parameter scan of constant-roll β-exponential inflation in Palatini R² gravity claims agreement with ACT/Planck contours, but the derivation is undermined by algebraic sign errors and an absent non-Gaussianity calculation.
