报告摘要：

The arrival of multi-messenger cosmology provided us various probes on the very early universe. Several theoretical challenges then arise for the developments of cosmological perturbation theory within the linear approximation. However, the searches for some primordial relics, such as stochastic gravitational waves and primordial black holes, have drawn many attentions on the nonperturbative dynamics of the very early universe. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the recent progresses on the study of primordial black holes and the induced stochastic gravitational waves and their features at small length scales. Particularly, I will focus on the resonance effects of primordial fluctuations depicted by the Mathieu equation and the applications to the enhancement of small-scale power spectrum. Additionally, I will also introduce the latest limit of the scalar-induced gravitational waves by virtue of the pulsar timing array observations. These studies shall lead to potentially new observational window for us to probe new physics.
