In light of our previous work cite{Liu:2019xhn}, we investigate the possibility of formation for primordial black-hole during preheating period, in which we have implemented the instability of the Mathieu equation. For generating sufficient enough enhanced power spectrum, we choose some proper parameters belonging to the narrow resonance. To characterize the full power spectrum, the enhanced part of the power spectrum is depicted by the $delta$ function at some specific scales, which is highly relevant with the mass of inflaton due to the explicit coupling between the curvaton and inflaton. After the inflationary period (including the preheating period), there is only one condition satisfying with the COBE normalization upper limit. Thanks to the huge choices for this mass parameter, we can simulate the value of abundance of primordial black holes nearly covering all of the mass ranges, in which we have given three special cases. One case could account for the dark matter in some sense since the abundance of a primordial black hole is about $75%$. At late times, the relic of exponential potential could be approximated to a constant of the order of cosmological constant dubbed as a role of dark energy. Thus, our model could unify dark energy and dark matter from the perspective of phenomenology. Finally, it sheds new light for exploring Higgs physics.
Inspired by cite{Jiang:2018uce}, we propose a similar curvaton mechanism whose realization occurs in preheating process, in which the effective mass is running (its potential consists of coupling part and exponential part whose contribution is subdominant comparing to the coupling part). The production of curvaton contains the cases of narrow resonance and broad resonances whose criteria comes via the spectral index of curvaton. Since the inflationary potential is chaotic inflation (quadratic potential), it could smoothly transit into the preheating process. Once the entropy perturbation transferred into curvature perturbation, we will use $delta N$ formalism to investigate its validity. By neglecting the contribution of exponential potential of curvaton, we calculate power spectrum $P_zeta$ and non linear Non-Gaussian parameter $f_{NL}$. Our calculation analytically shows that these two observables are independent of potential of inflaton. Finally, as the curvaton almost decay (inflaton field vanishes), the exponential potential will be approaching a constant of order of cosmological constant, which may play a role of dark energy.
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are those which may have formed in the early Universe and affected the subsequent evolution of the Universe through their Hawking radiation and gravitational field. To constrain the early Universe from the observational constraint on the abundance of PBHs, it is essential to determine the formation threshold for primordial cosmological fluctuations, which are naturally described by cosmological long-wavelength solutions. I will briefly review our recent analytical and numerical results on the PBH formation.
We introduce a statistical method for estimating magnetic field fluctuations generated from primordial black hole (PBH) populations. To that end, we consider monochromatic and extended Press-Schechter PBH mass functions, such that each constituent is capable of producing its own magnetic field due to some given physical mechanism. Assuming linear correlation between magnetic field fluctuations and matter over-densities, our estimates depend on the mass function, the physical field generation mechanism by each PBH constituent, and the characteristic PBH separation. After computing the power spectrum of magnetic field fluctuations, we apply our formalism to study the plausibility that two particular field generation mechanisms could have given rise to the expected seed fields according to current observational constraints. The first mechanism is the Biermann battery and the second one is due to the accretion of magnetic monopoles at PBH formation, constituting magnetic PBHs. Our results show that, for monochromatic distributions, it does not seem to be possible to generate sufficiently intense seed fields in any of the two field generation mechanisms. For extended distributions, it is also not possible to generate the required seed field by only assuming a Biermann battery mechanism. In fact, we report an average seed field by this mechanism of about 10^{-47} G, at z = 20. For the case of magnetic monopoles we instead assume that the seed values from the literature are achieved and calculate the necessary number density of monopoles. In this case we obtain values that are below the upper limits from current constraints.
Primordial Black Holes (PBH) from peaks in the curvature power spectrum could constitute today an important fraction of the Dark Matter in the Universe. At horizon reentry, during the radiation era, order one fluctuations collapse gravitationally to form black holes and, at the same time, generate a stochastic background of gravitational waves coming from second order anisotropic stresses in matter. We study the amplitude and shape of this background for several phenomenological models of the curvature power spectrum that can be embedded in waterfall hybrid inflation, axion, domain wall, and boosts of PBH formation at the QCD transition. For a broad peak or a nearly scale invariant spectrum, this stochastic background is generically enhanced by about one order of magnitude, compared to a sharp feature. As a result, stellar-mass PBH from Gaussian fluctuations with a wide mass distribution are already in strong tension with the limits from Pulsar Timing Arrays, if they constitute a non negligible fraction of the Dark Matter. But this result is mitigated by the uncertainties on the curvature threshold leading to PBH formation. LISA will have the sensitivity to detect or rule out light PBH down to $10^{-14} M_{odot}$. Upcoming runs of LIGO/Virgo and future interferometers such as the Einstein Telescope will increase the frequency lever arm to constrain PBH from the QCD transition. Ultimately, the future SKA Pulsar Timing Arrays could probe the existence of even a single stellar-mass PBH in our Observable Universe.
Primordial magnetic field (PMF) is one of the feasible candidates to explain observed large-scale magnetic fields, for example, intergalactic magnetic fields. We present a new mechanism that brings us information about PMFs on small scales based on the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs). The anisotropic stress of the PMFs can act as a source of the super-horizon curvature perturbation in the early universe. If the amplitude of PMFs is sufficiently large, the resultant density perturbation also has a large amplitude, and thereby, the PBH abundance is enhanced. Since the anisotropic stress of the PMFs is consist of the square of the magnetic fields, the statistics of the density perturbation follows the non-Gaussian distribution. Assuming Gaussian distributions and delta-function type power spectrum for PMFs, based on a Monte-Carlo method, we obtain an approximate probability density function of the density perturbation, and it is an important piece to relate the amplitude of PMFs with the abundance of PBHs. Finally, we place the strongest constraint on the amplitude of PMFs as a few hundred nano-Gauss on $10^{2};{rm Mpc}^{-1} leq kleq 10^{18};{rm Mpc}^{-1}$ where the typical cosmological observations never reach.
