abstract
Models in which dark matter consists entirely of primordial black holes (PBHs) with masses around $10^{17}$ g are currently unconstrained. However, if PBHs are a component of the Galactic dark matter density, they will inject a large flux of energetic particles into the Galaxy as they radiate. Positrons produced by these black holes will subsequently propagate throughout the Galaxy and annihilate, contributing to the Galactic 511 keV line. Using measurements of this line by the INTEGRAL satellite as a constraint on PBH positron injection, we place new limits on PBH abundance in the mass range $10^{16} - 10^{17}$ g, ruling out models in which these PBHs constitute the entirety of dark matter.

Primordial Black Hole from Tensor-induced Density Fluctuation: First-order Phase Transitions and Domain Walls
Tensor perturbations from FOPT and domain-wall sources are claimed to induce second-order scalar perturbations large enough to form primordial black holes, potentially all of the dark matter.

Relaxation of Energy Constraints for Positrons Generating the Galactic Annihilation Signal
A full forward model of INTEGRAL, COMPTEL, and EGRET data relaxes the upper limit on positron injection energy for the Galactic 511 keV signal from a few MeV to roughly 40-60 MeV.

Refining primordial black hole dark matter constraints with dust heating: the role of spin and halo profile dependence
Dust-heating constraints on PBH dark matter tighten to f_PBH ≈ 10^-4 when PBH spin is included, with the strongest limits for the Isothermal halo profile and weakest for Burkert.
