稲井教授の研究室は、インフレーション理論と重力波の観測を結ぶ新しい分野に焦点を当てており、初期宇宙における原始ブラックホールの形成と、それに関連するスカラー誘導重力波(SIGW)の理論的・数値的解析を主な研究テーマとしています。特に、非ガウス性を有する原始密度揺らぎが重力波スペクトルに与える影響を精密に評価し、LIGO-Virgo-KAGRAの観測データと照らし合わせた制約解析も進めています。また、定数ロールインフレーションにおける双対性や非ガウス性の構造解明にも貢献しています。

Abstract We investigate the formation of primordial black hole (PBH) based on numerical relativity simulations and peak theory as well as the corresponding scalar induced gravitational wave (SIGW) signals in the presence of logarithmic non-Gaussianities which has recently been confirmed in a wide class of inflation models. Through numerical calculations, we find certain parameter spaces of the critical thresholds for the type A PBH formation and reveal a maximum critical threshold value. We also
Abstract The curvature perturbation in a model of constant-roll (CR) inflation is interpreted in view of the logarithmic duality discovered in ref. [1] according to the δN formalism. We confirm that the critical value β := φ̈ /( Hφ̇ )= -3/2 determining whether the CR condition is stable or not is understood as the point at which the dual solutions, i.e., the attractor and non-attractor solutions of the field equation, are interchanged. For the attractor-solution domination, the curvature perturb
Abstract The scalar-induced gravitational wave (SIGWs), arising from large amplitude primordial density fluctuations, provide a unique observational test for directly probing the epoch of inflation. In this work, we provide constraints on the SIGW background by taking into account the non-Gaussianity in the primordial density fluctuations, using the first three observing runs (O1-O3) data of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. We find that the non-Gaussianity gives a non-negligible effect on the
Gravitational waves (GWs) from gravitational three-body decay (graviton bremsstrahlung process) can leave an indelible signal at ultrahigh frequencies. We focus on a scenario where superheavy particles are produced gravitationally at a transition between the inflationary and kination phases and analyze the detectability of the signal in the presence of GWs generated from the vacuum fluctuations during inflation. We find that, in many cases, GWs from the graviton bremsstrahlung are buried in the

The curvature perturbation in a model of constant-roll (CR) inflation is interpreted in view of the logarithmic duality discovered in Ref. [1] according to the $δN$ formalism. We confirm that the critical value $β:=\ddotφ/(H\dotφ)=-3/2$ determining whether the CR condition is stable or not is understood as the point at which the dual solutions, i.e., the attractor and non-attractor solutions of the field equation, are interchanged.
