abstract
If the black holes detected by LIGO/VIRGO are primordial black holes (PBHs) sourcing from a large primordial curvature perturbation on small scales, the corresponding induced gravitational waves (GWs) would peak at nanohertz that is detectable by the current and future observations of pulsar timing array (PTA). In this paper we show that with the mass function estimated from the merger rate of LIGO O1 and O2 events, the induced GWs from such a curvature perturbation with a Gaussian narrow peak at some small scale would be in a seemingly mild tension with current constraints from PTA. However, if the curvature perturbation is of local-type non-Gaussianity with a non-linear parameter $f_\text{NL}\gtrsim\mathcal{O}(10)$, the tension could be relieved. Nevertheless, such an induced GWs must be detectable by the Square Kilometer Array in a decade or less.

From Primordial Black Holes Abundance to Primordial Curvature Power Spectrum (and back)
Using numerical relativity thresholds, cosmological perturbation theory, and peak theory, the authors derive updated upper limits on the small-scale primordial curvature power spectrum from primordial black hole abund...

Isotropic background and anisotropies of gravitational waves induced by cosmological soliton isocurvature perturbations
Soliton isocurvature perturbations produce gravitational waves whose sky anisotropies are enhanced by non-Gaussianity, offering a new probe of the early universe.

How Well Do We Know the Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves?
Non-Gaussian curvature perturbations, related to Gaussian ones by a logarithmic mapping, can make the scalar-induced gravitational wave background much larger or smaller than the standard quadratic calculation predicts.

Primordial Black Holes from Cosmic Domain Walls
A two-field inflationary model with time-dependent domain wall tension produces primordial black holes with a narrow, spike-like mass function, potentially explaining all dark matter or LIGO merger events.
