We perform an accurate computation of the production rate for primordial black holes (PBHs). The reason is that the underlying mass variance had been overestimated systematically, as was shown recently. For scale-free powerlaw primordial…

It is shown that a mechanism of PBH formation from high-baryon bubbles with log-normal mass spectrum naturally leads to the central mass of the PBH distribution close to ten solar masses independently of the model details. This result is in…

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 $M= (10^6 - 10^9) M_\odot$…
