Abstract

In this paper, starting from the modified Einstein field equations, we derive the modified scalar spectral index nsn_{s} and the modified tensor-to-scalar ratio rr in Barrow entropy model, calculate their values for the power-law, periodic, and hilltop potential models, constrain the model parameter δ\delta and the potential parameter using Planck 2018 data, and find that increasing δ\delta causes a significant decrease in rr. Then, we calculate the primordial curvature perturbation power spectra, primordial black hole (PBH) abundance, and scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) for these models, finding PBH mass of approximately 1012M10^{-12} M_{\odot}, PBH abundance nearly 0.980.98, and the peak frequencies of SIGWs on the order 103Hz10^{-3} \mathrm{Hz}, indicating that these models not only generate sufficient PBHs which can contribute one-third of the dark matter content but could also be detected by next-generation missions such as LISA, Taiji, and TianQin. Subsequently, we analyze the evolution of PBHs and find that when the effective equation of state parameter evolves from 1/31/3 to 1/3-1/3, the accretion mass increases to approximately 102Mi10^{2}M_{i}, while the temperature of the PBHs decreases from 104K10^{4}K to 102K10^{2}K, suggesting that PBHs exist and are detectable today.
