Abstract

We investigate the second order energy density perturbation δ(2)\delta^{(2)} induced by small-scale Gaussian and local-type non-Gaussian primordial curvature perturbations. The relative abundance of primordial black hole is calculated in terms of the probability density function of total energy density perturbation δr=δ(1)+12δ(2)\delta_r=\delta^{(1)}+\frac{1}{2}\delta^{(2)}. The effects of second order density perturbation greatly reduce the upper bounds of small-scale power spectra of primordial curvature perturbations by one to two orders of magnitude. For log-normal primordial power spectrum, its amplitude AζA_{\zeta} is constrained to be about Aζ3×103A_{\zeta}\sim 3\times10^{-3}. And for local-type non-Gaussianity with fNL=10f_{\mathrm{NL}}=10, the upper bound of AζA_{\zeta} is about 2.5×1042.5\times10^{-4}.
