  • Abstract
    The most widely studied formation mechanism of a primordial black hole (PBH) is collapse of large-amplitude perturbation on small scales generated in single-field inflation. In this talk, we will present the one-loop correction to the large-scale power spectrum in such a model.  We find models producing appreciable amount of PBHs generically induce too large one-loop correction on large scale probed by cosmic microwave background radiation. We therefore conclude that PBH formation from single-field inflation is ruled out.
