In a previous paper I showed that a classical scalar potential with $V''/V \sim 1$ can be sufficiently flattened by quantum corrections to give rise to slow-roll inflation. In this paper I give a hybrid inflation implementation of that idea which can naturally produce a spectral index in the observationally viable range even for $V^{1/4} \sim 10^{10}$ to $10^{11}$ GeV. Although any observationally viable spectral index can be obtained, the model does predict a distinctive spectral shape.

    Updated compilation shows PBHs are tightly constrained across 55 orders of magnitude in mass, ruling out dominant dark matter contributions except in narrow windows, with many limits carrying observational uncertainties.
