We present new single field inflationary scenarios that produce the critical abundance of primordial black holes as dark matter reconstructing the inflaton potential from an input power spectrum.
The method is exact in the slow roll approximation but remains effective even when the slow roll conditions are temporarily violated such as in ultra slow roll models.
With this method we construct new ultra slow roll scenarios and also models that reproduce the DM abundance within the slow roll regime.
As a second application we consider a scalar power spectrum that generates a secondary gravitational wave background compatible with the one recently observed in Pulsar Timing Arrays experiments.
These scenarios could be tested by future observations of $\mu-$distortions of the CMB.
