Multiple Field Ultra Slow Roll Inflation: Primordial Black Holes From Straight Bulk And Distorted Boundary
Abstract
We study a model of two-field ultra-slow-roll (USR) inflation bounded by a curve in the field space. Curvature perturbations and non-Gaussianities can be enhanced both during the USR phase and from the inhomogeneities at the boundary. We employ the full non-linear formalism to calculate the probability distribution function (PDF) for curvature perturbation non-perturbatively and show that the non-linear effects can significantly enhance the abundance of the primordial black holes (PBHs). For large curvature perturbations, the PDF has a universal exponential tail, but for the intermediate values, the PDF -- and, therefore, the abundance of the PBHs -- depend sensitively on the geometry of the boundary.
