Abstract

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are an important tool in cosmology to probe the primordial spectrum of small-scale curvature perturbations that reenter the cosmological horizon during radiation domination epoch. We numerically solve the evolution of spherically symmetric highly perturbed configurations to clarify the criteria of PBHs formation using an extremely wide class of curvature profiles characterized by five parameters, (in contrast to only two parameters used in all previous papers) which specify the curvature profiles not only at the central region but also at the outer boundary of configurations. It is shown that formation or non-formation of PBHs is determined essentialy by only two master parameters one of which can be presented as an integral of curvature over initial configurations and the other is presented in terms of the position of the boundary and the edge of the core.

The double formation of primordial black holes

Journal Article Nakama, Tomohiro - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a useful tool in cosmology to probe primordial inhomogeneities on small scales that reenter the Hubble radius during the radiation dominated epoch. In this paper, a phenomenon we call the double formation of PBHs, described below, is explored. Suppose there exists a highly perturbed region which will collapse to form a PBH after the horizon crossing of this region, and farther that this region is superposed on a perturbed region of a much larger scale, which also collapses upon its reentry. One then expects the collapse of the central smaller region at the time ofmore »« less

Generalized constraints on the curvature perturbation from primordial black holes

Journal Article Josan, Amandeep; Green, Anne; Malik, Karim - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Primordial black holes (PBHs) can form in the early Universe via the collapse of large density perturbations. There are tight constraints on the abundance of PBHs formed due to their gravitational effects and the consequences of their evaporation. These abundance constraints can be used to constrain the primordial power spectrum, and hence models of inflation, on scales far smaller than those probed by cosmological observations. We compile, and where relevant update, the constraints on the abundance of PBHs before calculating the constraints on the curvature perturbation, taking into account the growth of density perturbations prior to horizon entry. We considermore »« less

Gravitational wave signatures of inflationary models from Primordial Black Hole dark matter

Journal Article García-Bellido, Juan; Peloso, Marco; Unal, Caner - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Primordial Black Holes (PBH) could be the cold dark matter of the universe. They could have arisen from large (order one) curvature fluctuations produced during inflation that reentered the horizon in the radiation era. At reentry, these fluctuations source gravitational waves (GW) via second order anisotropic stresses. These GW, together with those (possibly) sourced during inflation by the same mechanism responsible for the large curvature fluctuations, constitute a primordial stochastic GW background (SGWB) that unavoidably accompanies the PBH formation. We study how the amplitude and the range of frequencies of this signal depend on the statistics (Gaussian versus χ{sup 2})more »« less

Bounds from primordial black holes with a near critical collapse initial mass function

Journal Article Kribs, G; Leibovich, A; Rothstein, I - Physical Review, D

Recent numerical evidence suggests that a mass spectrum of primordial black holes (PBHs) is produced as a consequence of near critical gravitational collapse. Assuming that these holes formed from the initial density perturbations seeded by inflation, we calculate model independent upper bounds on the mass variance at the reheating temperature by requiring that the mass density does not exceed the critical density and the photon emission does not exceed current diffuse gamma-ray measurements. We then translate these results into bounds on the spectral index {ital n} by utilizing the COBE data to normalize the mass variance at large scales, assumingmore »« less

Primordial black hole formation during the QCD epoch

Journal Article Jedamzik, K - Physical Review, D

We consider the formation of horizon-size primordial black holes (PBH{close_quote}s) from pre-existing density fluctuations during cosmic phase transitions. It is pointed out that the formation of PBH{close_quote}s should be particularly efficient during the QCD epoch due to a substantial reduction of pressure forces during adiabatic collapse, or equivalently, a significant decrease in the effective speed of sound during the color-confinement transition. Our considerations imply that for generic initial density perturbation spectra PBH mass functions are expected to exhibit a pronounced peak on the QCD-horizon mass scale {approximately}1M{sub {circle_dot}}. This mass scale is roughly coincident with the estimated masses for compactmore »« less
