abstract

We discuss the footprint of evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) on stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) induced by scalar perturbations. We consider the case where PBHs once dominated the Universe but eventually evaporated before the big bang nucleosynthesis. The reheating through the PBH evaporation could end with a sudden change in the equation of state of the Universe compared to the conventional reheating caused by particle decay. We show that this "sudden reheating" by the PBH evaporation enhances the induced GWs, whose amount depends on the length of the PBH-dominated era and the width of the PBH mass function. We explore the possibility to constrain the primordial abundance of the evaporating PBHs by observing the induced GWs. We find that the abundance parameter $\beta \gtrsim 10^{-5} \text{ - }10^{-8}$ for $\mathcal{O}(10^3 \text{ - } 10^5) \, \text{g}$ PBHs can be constrained by future GW observations if the width of the mass function is smaller than about a hundredth of the mass.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The rapid decay of an oscillon-dominated post-inflation phase produces induced gravitational waves strong enough that the BBN/CMB bound on relativistic species excludes significant regions of inflaton mass–coupling pa...

  2. Primordial black hole induced gravitational waves in $f(R)$ gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In R^(1+ε) gravity, exponential growth of scalar perturbations during a PBH-driven early matter era enhances the induced gravitational wave signal, with Ω_GW ∝ f on large scales.

  3. Multiple Populations of Same Sterile Neutrino as Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single sterile neutrino species can be produced by multiple early-universe mechanisms, yielding cold and warm dark matter populations with a two-humped momentum spectrum.

  4. Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.

  5. New bounds on Memory Burdened Primordial Black Holes from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Memory-burdened primordial black holes lighter than 10^9 grams are newly constrained by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, with a residual unconstrained window around 1-100 grams for suppression index k=2.
