Constraints on the primordial curvature perturbation from primordial black holes
We calculate the constraints on the primordial curvature perturbation at the end of inflation from the present day abundance of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), as a function of the reheat temperature TRH. We first extend recent work on the formation of PBHs on scales which remain within the horizon during inflation and calculate the resulting constraints on the curvature perturbation. We then ev...
متن کاملCompensated isocurvature perturbations in the curvaton model
Primordial fluctuations in the relative number densities of particles, or isocurvature perturbations, are generally well constrained by cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. A less probed mode is the compensated isocurvature perturbation (CIP), a fluctuation in the relative number densities of cold dark matter and baryons. In the curvaton model, a sub-dominant field during inflation later set...
متن کاملBayesian Model Selection in Spatial Lattice Models Bayesian Model Selection in Spatial Lattice Models
This work describes a Bayesian approach for model selection in Gaussian conditional autoregressive models and Gaussian simultaneous autoregressive models which are commonly used to describe spatial lattice data. The approach is aimed at situations when all competing models have the same mean structure, but differ on some aspects of their covariance structures. The proposed approach uses as sele...
متن کاملNon-linear isocurvature perturbations and non-Gaussianities
We study non-linear primordial adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations and their non-Gaussianity. After giving a general formulation in the context of an extended δN formalism, we analyse in detail two illustrative examples. The first is a mixed curvaton-inflaton scenario in which fluctuations of both the inflaton and a curvaton (a light isocurvature field during inflation) contribute to the p...
متن کاملCobe Constraints on Baryon Isocurvature Models
We consider Bayesian constraints on standard isocurvature baryon models from the slope and normalization of the anisotropy power spectrum detected by the COBE DMR experiment in their 2 year maps. In conjunction with either the amplitude of matter fluctuations s8 or its slope, all open models are ruled out at greater than 95% confidence, whereas cosmological-constant dominated models are constra...
