Primordial black holes as supermassive black hole seeds

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
Abstract The presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs, M • ∼ 106-10 M ⊙) in the first cosmic Gyr (z ≳ 6) challenges current models of BH formation and evolution. We propose a novel mechanism for the formation of early SMBH seeds based on primordial black holes (PBHs).

Spin Distribution of Primordial Black Holes

open access: yes, 2017
We estimate the spin distribution of primordial black holes based on the recent study of the critical phenomena in the gravitational collapse of a rotating radiation fluid. We find that primordial black holes are mostly slowly rotating.Comment: 12 pages,

Non-Primordial Solar Mass Black Holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We propose a mechanism that can convert a sizeable fraction of neutron stars into black holes with mass $\sim 1M_\odot$, too light to be produced via standard stellar evolution.

Enhancement of Coherence Times of Individual Shallow NV Center due to Ozone Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
It has been observed a threefold improvement in T2∗$T_2^*$ by probing the spin properties of the same individual shallow NVs (depth < 20 nm) before and after ozone treatment, and one order of magnitude enhancement in T2${T_2}$, for NVs coated with a layer of isotopically purified 12C${\;^{12}}C$ (depth < 40 nm).

Evolution of a primordial black hole population

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1998
We reconsider in this work the effects of an energy absorption term in the evolution of primordial black holes (hereafter PBHs) in the several epochs of the Universe. A critical mass is introduced as a boundary between the accreting and evaporating regimes of the PBHs.

Hawking Radiation from non-evaporating primordial black holes cannot enable the formation of direct collapse black holes

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
The formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe is a subject of significant debate. In this study, we examine whether non-evaporating primordial black holes (PBHs) can offer a solution.

Origin of Correlations between Central Black Holes Masses and Galactic Bulge Velocity Dispersions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We argue that the observed correlations between central black holes masses M_{BH} and galactic bulge velocity dispersions \sigma_e in the form M_{BH}\propto\sigma_e^4 may witness on the pregalactic origin of massive black holes.

“It Will Get Crowded, It Will Get Dull!”: Preventive Sensations of Density in Zurich's Future‐Making

open access: yesCity &Society, Volume 38, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In Zurich, Switzerland's largest and wealthiest city, future planning around densification has been intensely debated in recent years, spurring referendums and direct democratic votes, and permeating the public discourse through governmental communication, political propaganda, and heightened media coverage.

PRIMORDIAL BLACK HOLES AND EARLY COSMOLOGY [PDF]

open access: yesCOSMO-97, 1998
We describe the changes to the standard primordial black hole constraints on density perturbations if there are modifications to the standard cosmology between the time of formation and nucleosynthesis.

Implications of pulsar timing array data for scalar-induced gravitational waves and primordial black holes: Primordial non-Gaussianity f_{NL} considered

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Multiple pulsar-timing-array collaborations have reported strong evidence for the existence of a gravitational-wave background. We study physical implications of this signal for cosmology, assuming that it is attributed to scalar-induced gravitational ...
