We construct a single-field model of inflation that achieves remarkable agreement with Planck and BICEP/Keck cosmological observations. The model, via the presence of an ultraslow-roll phase, generates a sizable scalar-induced gravitational wave (GW) signal at nHz frequencies. We elucidate the distinctive features of this signal concerning its connection to the recent measurement of the low-frequency GW background reported by the NANOGrav collaboration.

Abstract
We construct a single-field model of inflation that achieves remarkable agreement with Planck and BICEP/Keck cosmological observations. The model, via the presence of an ultraslow-roll phase, generates a sizable scalar-induced gravitational wave (GW) signal at nHz frequencies. We elucidate the distinctive features of this signal concerning its connection to the recent measurement of the low-frequency GW background reported by the NANOGrav collaboration.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
