DESCRIPTION:The small-scale physics of inflation can leave observational s
 ignatures in the gravitational-wave background and may also generate primo
 rdial black holes as a dark matter candidate. These phenomena often involv
 e a significant enhancement of inflationary fluctuations\, potentially lea
 ding to a breakdown of standard perturbation theory. In this talk\, I will
  discuss how lattice simulations provide a tool to address these challenge
 s. Focusing on single-field inflationary models with deviations from slow 
 roll\, I will show how nonlinear physics can significantly alter the infla
 tionary dynamics and their predictions\, even in regimes where perturbatio
 n theory is typically assumed to be valid. This highlights the role of lat
 tice simulations in probing inflation with current and future gravitationa
 l-wave experiments.\n\nhttps://agenda.infn.it/event/50938/
