Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity
In the recent years, primordial black holes (PBHs) have emerged as one of the most interesting and hotly debated topics in cosmology. Among other possibilities, PBHs could explain both some of the signals from binary black hole mergers observed in ...

Turning in the landscape: A new mechanism for generating primordial black holes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
We propose a new model-independent mechanism for producing primordial black holes from a period of multi-field inflation. This requires an enhancement of primordial fluctuations at short scales compared to their value at CMB scales.

Inflation and Primordial Black Holes

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
We review conceptual aspects of inflationary scenarios able to produce primordial black holes by amplifying the size of curvature fluctuations to the level required to trigger black hole formation. We identify general mechanisms to do so, both for single-

Accretion, primordial black holes and standard cosmology

open access: yesPramana - Journal of Physics, 2011
Primordial Black Holes evaporate due to Hawking radiation. We find that the evaporation time of primordial black holes increase when accretion of radiation is included.Thus depending on accretion efficiency more and more number of primordial black holes ...

Primordial black holes as a probe of strongly first-order electroweak phase transition

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2022
Primordial black holes can be produced by density fluctuations generated from delayed vacuum decays of first-order phase transition. The primordial black holes generated at the electroweak phase transition have masses of about 10−5 solar mass.

Probing first-order electroweak phase transition via primordial black holes in the effective field theory

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
We investigate production of primordial black holes from first-order electroweak phase transition in the framework of the nearly aligned Higgs effective field theory, in which non-decoupling quantum effects are properly described.

Origin and growth of primordial black holes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
Building on the insight that primordial black holes can arise from the formation and subsequent gravitational collapse of bound states of stable supermassive elementary particles during the early radiation era, we offer a comprehensive picture describing

Constraints on primordial curvature spectrum from primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
The observational data of primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves can constrain the primordial curvature perturbation at small scales. We parameterize the primordial curvature perturbation by a broken power law form and find that it

Neutrino primordial Planckian black holes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
Extremal rotating black holes can be formed in the Planck energy scattering of Dirac spin parallel neutrinos in the mass state m2 (assuming m1=0), owing to the repulsive interaction between their magnetic dipoles, induced by vacuum fluctuations. Assuming

Formation and Clustering of Primordial Black Holes in Brans-Dicke Theory

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
The formation of primordial black holes in the early universe in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravity is investigated. Corrections to the threshold value of density perturbations are found.
