Abstract
We argue that the existence of the cold dark matter is explained by primordial black holes.We show that a significant number of primordial black holes can be formed in an axion-like curvaton model, in which the highly blue-tilted power spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations is achieved.It is found that the produced black holes with masses account for the present cold dark matter.We also argue the possibility of forming the primordial black holes with mass as seeds of the supermassive black holes.
