[HTML][HTML] Observational evidence for primordial black holes: A positivist perspective

BJ Carr, S Clesse, J Garcia-Bellido, MRS Hawkins… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational
evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This …

[HTML][HTML] Primordial black holes as dark matter: recent developments

B Carr, F Kühnel - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Although the dark matter is usually assumed to be made up of some form of elementary
particle, primordial black holes (PBHs) could also provide some of it. However, various …

Constraints on primordial black holes

B Carr, K Kohri, Y Sendouda… - Reports on Progress in …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We update the constraints on the fraction of the Universe that may have gone into primordial
black holes (PBHs) over the mass range 10− 5 to 10 50 g. Those smaller than∼ 10 15 g …

Two populations of LIGO-Virgo black holes

G Hütsi, M Raidal, V Vaskonen… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyse the LIGO-Virgo data, including the recently released GWTC-2dataset, to test a
hypothesis that the data contains more than one population of black holes. We perform a …

Primordial black holes—perspectives in gravitational wave astronomy

M Sasaki, T Suyama, T Tanaka… - Classical and Quantum …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
This article reviews current understanding of primordial black holes (PBHs), with particular
focus on those massive examples ($\gtrsim $$10^{15}~{\rm g} $) which remain at the …

Anatomy of single-field inflationary models for primordial black holes

A Karam, N Koivunen, E Tomberg… - … of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct an analytically solvable simplified model that captures the essential features
for primordial black hole (PBH) production in most models of single-field inflation. The …

Primordial black holes from Gauss-Bonnet-corrected single field inflation

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Primordial black holes formed in the early Universe via gravitational collapse of over-dense
regions may contribute a significant amount to the present dark matter relic density. Inflation …

[HTML][HTML] A brief review on primordial black holes as dark matter

P Villanueva-Domingo, O Mena… - Frontiers in Astronomy …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Primordial black holes (PBHs) represent a natural candidate for one of the components of
the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. In this review, we shall discuss the basics of their …

Quantum loop effects on the power spectrum and constraints on primordial black holes

S Choudhury, S Panda, M Sami - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a detailed exposition on the prospects of the formation of Primordial Black Holes
(PBHs) during Slow Roll (SR) to Ultra Slow Roll (USR) sharp transitions in the framework of …
