Abstract It is well known that primordial black hole (PBH) can be generated in inflation process of the early universe, especially when the inflaton field has some non-trivial features that could break the slow-roll condition. In this paper, we investigate a toy model of inflation with bumpy potential, which has one or several bumps. We found that potential with multi-bump can give rise to power spectra with multi peaks in small-scale region, which can in turn predict the generation of primordial black holes in various mass ranges. We also consider the two possibilities of PBH formation by spherical collapse and elliptical collapse. And discusses the scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) generated by the second-order scalar perturbations.

The main goal of this paper is to derive the primordial power spectrum for the scalar perturbations generated as a result of quantum fluctuations during an inflationary period by an alternative approach of field quantization.1–3 Formulas are derived for the gravitational waves, special cases of which include power law inflation and inflation in the slow roll approximation, in Krein space quantization.

The existence of a primordial spectrum of gravitational waves is a generic prediction of inflation. Here, I will discuss under what conditions the coupling of a pseudoscalar inflaton to a U(1) gauge field can induce, in a two-step process, gravitational waves with unusual properties such as: (i) a net chirality, (ii) a blue spectrum, (iii) large non-Gaussianities even if the scalar perturbations are approximately Gaussian and (iv) being detectable in the (relatively) near future by ground-based gravitational interferometers.
