It was shown by (Nakamura et al. 1997), (Ioka et al. 1998), and (Sasaki et al. 2016) that primordial black holes (PBHs) binaries can form effectively at the cosmological stage of radiation dominance, and the merge of the PBHs in pairs can explain the gravitational wave burst GW150914. In this paper, the model is re-examined by considering the effect of inflationary dark matter density perturbations which produce additional tidal forces. As a result, the merge rate of PBHs binaries and the corresponding rate of the gravitational bursts are suppressed by the factor $\sim1.5-2$ in comparison with previous calculations. This rate matches the LIGO data if the PBHs constitute the $f\sim5\times10^{-4}-5\times10^{-3}$ fraction of dark matter.

  1. The swallowed spike: the formation of light primordial black hole structures around heavy seeds

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Light PBHs around heavy primordial seeds form significantly less dense inner cores than particle DM because no studied torque mechanism prevents capture.

  2. The swallowed spike: the formation of light primordial black hole structures around heavy seeds

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 accept novelty 7.0

    No torque mechanism studied supplies enough angular momentum for the innermost light-PBH shells around a heavy seed, so the spike core is swallowed and far less dense than a WIMP spike.

  3. GW231123: A Possible Primordial Black Hole Origin

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    GW231123's masses and high spins are consistent with primordial black holes that accreted mass and angular momentum in the early universe within the standard PBH framework.

  4. Cancellation of one-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations from all scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.
