abstract

We investigate the cosmology of mini Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) produced by large density perturbations. The mini PBHs evaporate promptly in the early universe and we assume that a stable remnant is left behind. The PBHs remnants can constitute the entire dark matter of the universe for a wide range of remnant masses. We build inflationary models, in the framework of $\alpha$-attractors utilizing exponential functions, in which the PBHs are produced during matter, radiation and kination domination eras. The advantage of these inflationary models is that the spectral index takes values favorable by the Planck 2018 data. The PBH production from runaway inflaton models has the unique and very attractive feature to automatically reheat the universe. In these models the PBHs are produced during the kination stage and their prompt evaporation efficiently produces the required entropy. Such runaway models are remarkably economic having interesting implications for the early universe cosmology, possibly giving rise to a wCDM late time cosmology as well.

  1. How deep is the dip and how tall are the wiggles in inflationary power spectra?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In single-field PBH inflation models, a power-spectrum dip appears precisely when the inflaton velocity does not flip sign, and the peak amplitude scales as the inverse square of the dip amplitude.

  2. Reconstructing Primordial Curvature Perturbations via Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves with LISA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LISA can reconstruct the primordial curvature power spectrum from scalar-induced gravitational waves, with percent-level precision near the peak and Bayesian tests separating SIGWs from other sources.

  3. Primordial black holes from sound speed resonance in the inflaton-curvaton mixed scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes with a narrow mass spectrum can form from parametric resonance in the curvaton sector of an inflaton-curvaton model, possibly providing a dark matter candidate.

  4. The Scale Factor Potential Approach to Inflation

    gr-qc 2019-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper reparametrizes slow-roll inflation through a scale factor potential and constructs an example potential, but the chosen 60 e-fold branch is inconsistent with its own first-minimum end condition.
