Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) have not been experimentally detected so far, but their existence would provide important insights about the early Universe and serve as one of the possible candidates of dark matter (DM). In this work, we…

In this paper we study the production of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) from inflation in order to explain the Dark Mater (DM) in the Universe. The evaluation of the fractional PBHs abundance to DM is sensitive to the value of the threshold…
In this paper, the criterion used to determine whether a density perturbation will collapse to form a primordial black hole (PBH) is re-examined, in respect of its use to determine the abundance of PBHs. There is particular focus on which…
Overdense regions can collapse into primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early universe, which are a compelling candidate for dark matter. Current constraints leave the asteroid-mass window the only possible one for PBH to account for all…

Primordial Black Holes (PBH) arise naturally from high peaks in the curvature power spectrum of near-inflection-point single-field inflation, and could constitute today the dominant component of the dark matter in the universe. In this…
We present a novel mechanism for the production of primordial black holes (PBHs). The mechanism is based on a period of thermal inflation followed by fast-roll inflation due to tachyonic mass of order the Hubble scale. Large perturbations…

We derive a strong upper bound on the amount of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) that can still be present in the Universe. Gravitational capture of PBHs by the Milky Way stars during their formation and subsequent accretion would produce a…
