Primordial black holes (PBHs) are predicted in many models via different formation mechanisms. Identifying the origin of PBHs is of the same importance as probing their existence. We propose to probe the asteroid-mass PBHs…
It is argued that the bulk of black holes (BH) in the universe are primordial (PBH). This assertion is strongly supported by the recent astronomical observations, which allow to conclude that supermassive BHs with $M= (10^6 - 10^9) M_\odot$…

We performed the detailed analysis of the primordial black hole (PBH) formation mechanism in an axionlike curvaton model with a coupling to inflaton. The phase direction of the complex scalar works as a curvaton and produces enough PBHs to…
