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.

  1. The statistics of curvature-profile dispersion in primordial black hole formation

    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.

  2. Suppression of the induced gravitational wave background due to third-order perturbations

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    Third-order scalar-tensor correlations suppress the induced gravitational wave background, and some of these new contributions diverge in the ultraviolet.

  3. The statistics of curvature-profile dispersion in primordial black hole formation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Shape dispersion around the average peak profile is a genuine statistical ingredient: rare deformed curvature profiles can dominate primordial black hole formation when the power spectrum is broad or non-Gaussianity i...

  4. Isotropy, anisotropies and non-Gaussianity in the scalar-induced gravitational-wave background: diagrammatic approach for primordial non-Gaussianity up to arbitrary order

    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.

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

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    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.

  6. Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    For tachyonic models with ζ=A(φ²−σ²), the PBH abundance is exponentially set by the correlation ρ between field and radial gradient; narrow spectra drive ρ→−1 and suppress PBH formation without killing the induced GW signal.

  7. Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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...

  8. NANOGrav 15-year gravitational-wave signals from binary supermassive black-holes seeded by primordial black holes, and implications for the origins of Little Red Dots

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0

    A PBH abundance of 10^-14–10^-12 of CDM, with seed masses 1–10^3 M_sun, is fitted to the NANOGrav 15-year background via SMBH mergers, consistent with 21-cm limits.
