Description

Primordial gravitational waves (GWs) can be generated during different eras of early cosmic evolution, including inflation, cosmic phase transition, reheating/preheating, and so on. In this talk, I will first introduce the amplified GWs through parametric resonance during inflation in the Cherns-Simons gravity. Then, I will introduce the scalar induced GWs accompanied with the production of primordial black holes. Two different theoretical models how to enhance the curvature perturbations will be discussed.
