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.

We investigate the evolution of primordial black hole mass spectrum by including both accretion of radiation and Hawking evaporation within Brans–Dicke (BD) cosmology in radiation-, matter- and vacuum-dominated eras. We also consider the effect of evaporation of primordial black holes on the expansion dynamics of the universe. The analytic solutions describing the energy density of the black holes in equilibrium with radiation are presented. We demonstrate that these solutions act as attractors for the system ensuring stability for both linear and nonlinear situations. We show, however, that inclusion of accretion of radiation delays the onset of this equilibrium in all radiation-, matter- and vacuum-dominated eras.

Gravitational waves (GWs) are inevitably produced by second-order terms in cosmological perturbation theory. Most notably, the so-called induced (GWs) are a window to the small scales part of the primordial spectrum of fluctuations and a key counterpart to the primordial black hole (PBH) scenario. However, semi-analytical solutions are only known for matter and radiation domination eras. In this paper, we present new analytic integral formulas for the induced GWs on subhorizon scales in a general cosmological background with a constant equation-of-state. We also discuss applications to a peaked primordial scalar power spectrum and the PBH scenario.
