We analyze a massive vector field with a non-canonical kinetic term in the action, minimally coupled to gravity, where the mass and kinetic function of the vector field vary as functions of time during inflation. The vector field is introduced following the same idea of a scalar curvaton, which must not affect the inflationary dynamics since its energy density during inflation is negligible compared to the total energy density in the Universe. Using this hypothesis, the vector curvaton will be solely responsible for generating the primordial curvature perturbation zeta. We have found that the spectra of the vector field perturbations are scale-invariant in superhorizon scales due to the suitable choice of the time dependence of the kinetic function and the effective mass during inflation. The preferred direction, generated by the vector field, makes the spectrum of zeta depend on the wavevector, i.e. there exists statistical anisotropy in zeta. This is discussed principally in the case where the mass of the vector field increases with time during inflation, where it is possible to find a heavy field (M >> H) at the end of inflation, making the particle production be practically isotropic; thus, the longitudinal and transverse spectra are nearly the same order which in turn causes that the statistical anisotropy generated by the vector field is within the observational bounds.

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 subdom inant 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.
We investigate two-field inflationary models in which scalar cosmological pertubations are generated via a spectator field nonminimally coupled to gravity, with the particular emphasis on curvaton scenarios. The principal advantage of these models is in the possibility to tune the spectator spectral index via the nonminimal coupling. Our models naturally yield red spectrum of the adiabatic perturbation demanded by observations. We study how the nonminimal coupling affects the spectrum of the curvature perturbation generated in the curvaton scenarios. In particular we find that for small, negative nonminimal couplings the spectral index gets a contribution that is negative and linear in the nonminimal coupling. Since in this way the curvature spectrum becomes redder, some of curvaton scenarios can be saved, which would otherwise be ruled out. In the power law inflation we find that a large nonminimal coupling is excluded since it gives the principal slow roll parameter that is of the order of unity. Finally, we point out that nonminimal coupling can affect the postinflationary growth of the spectator perturbation, and in this way the effectiveness of the curvaton mechanism.

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 en hanced 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.
In a logamediate inflationary universe model we introduce the curvaton field in order to bring this inflationary model to an end. In this approach we determine the reheating temperature. We also outline some interesting constraints on the parameters that describe our models. Thus, we give the parameter space in this scenario.
We revise the Non-Gaussianity of canonical curvaton scenario with a generalized $delta N$ formalism, in which it could handle the generic potentials. In various curvaton models, the energy density is dominant in different period including the seconda ry inflation of curvaton, matter domination and radiation domination. Our method could unify to deal with these periods since the non-linearity parameter $f_{rm NL}$ associated with Non-Gaussianity is a function of equation of state $w$. We firstly investigate the most simple curvaton scenario, namely the chaotic curvaton with quadratic potential. Our study shows that most parameter space satisfies with observational constraints. And our formula will nicely recover the well-known value of $f_{rm NL}$ in the absence of non-linear evolution. From the micro origin of curvaton, we also investigate the Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone curvaton. Our result clearly indicates that the second short inflationary process for Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone curvaton is ruled out in light of observations. Finally, our method sheds a new way for investigating the Non-Gaussianity of curvaton mechanism, espeically for exploring the Non-Gaussianity in MSSM curvaton model.
