We investigate giant and dual giant type BPS configurations in the near-horizon geometry of a certain 1/16-BPS AdS_5 black hole. By quantising the space of solutions we count the dual giant configurations and compare with the black hole…

Recent observational constraints indicate that primordial black holes (PBHs) with the mass scale $\sim 10^{-12}M_{\odot}$ can explain most of dark matter in the Universe. To produce this kind of PBHs, we need an enhance in the primordial…
