This paper is a biased review of primordial black hole (PBH) formation and abundance estimation. We first review the three-zone model for PBH formation to help an intuitive understanding of the PBH formation process. Then, for more accurate analyses, we introduce necessary tools such as cosmological long-wavelength solutions, the definition of the mass and compaction function in a spherically symmetric spacetime and peak theory. Combining all these tools, we calculate the PBH mass spectrum for the case of the monochromatic curvature power spectrum as a demonstration.

  1. STOchastic LAttice Simulation of hybrid inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In hybrid inflation, stochastic noise breaks topological defects into sub-Hubble-scale structures, and only the n=1 case leaves a global imprint on the curvature perturbation.

  2. Revisiting PBH accretion, evaporation and their cosmological consequences

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Relativistic accretion onto Kerr primordial black holes gives roughly 4.5x mass growth and fast spin-down, strengthening BBN bounds, lowering the survival mass to ~2.7e14 g, and erasing the high-frequency stochastic g...

  3. Super-critical primordial black hole formation via delayed first-order electroweak phase transition

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Delayed first-order electroweak phase transitions can form super-critical primordial black holes, and a timescale ratio t_H/t_V captures the threshold better than the standard density contrast.
