/Untangling PBH Overproduction in ww‐SIGWs Generated by Pulsar Timing Arrays for MST‐EFT of Single Field Inflation
Abstract

Our work highlights the crucial role played by the equation of state (EoS) parameter within the context of single field inflation with Multiple Sharp Transitions (MSTs) to untangle the current state of the PBH overproduction issue. We examine the situation for a broad interval of EoS parameter that remains most favourable to explain the recent data released by the pulsar timing array (PTA) collaboration. Our analysis yields the interval, , to be the most acceptable window from the SIGW interpretation of the PTA signal and where sizeable PBHs abundance, , is observed. We also obtain , radiation-dominated era, to be the best scenario to explain the early stages of the Universe and address the overproduction problem. Within the range of , we construct a regularized-renormalized-resummed scalar power spectrum whose amplitude obeys the perturbativity criterion while being substantial enough to generate EoS dependent scalar induced gravitational waves (-SIGWs) consistent with NANOGrav-15 data. Working for both , we find the case more favourable for generating large mass PBHs, , as potential dark matter candidates with substantial abundance after constraints coming from microlensing experiments.
