Abstract
We identify analytically a multiple-peak structure in the energy-density spectrum of induced gravitational waves (GWs) generated at second-order from a primordial scalar perturbations also with multiple() peaks at small scales . The energy-density spectrum of induced GWs exhibits at most and at least peaks at wave-vectors due to resonant amplification, and, under the narrow-width approximation, it contains an universal factor that can be interpreted as a result of momentum conservation. We also extend these discussions to the case of non-Gaussian perturbations.
