We recently showed that postulated ultracompact minihalos with a steep density profile do not form in realistic simulations with enhanced initial perturbations. In this paper we assume that a small fraction of the dark matter consists of primordial black holes (PBHs) and simulate the formation of structures around them. We find that in this scenario halos with steep density profiles do form, consistent with theoretical predictions. If the rest of the dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), we also show that WIMPs in the dense innermost part of these halos would annihilate and produce a detectable gamma-ray signal. The non-detection of this signal implies that PBHs make up at most one billionth of the dark matter, provided that their mass is greater than one millionth of the mass of the Sun. Similarly, a detection of PBHs would imply that the remaining dark matter could not be WIMPs.

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

The cosmic history of Primordial Black Hole accretion and its uncertainties
Accounting for radiative feedback and formation-time effects, accretion grows primordial black holes by at most a few percent in the radiation era and negligibly in the baryonic Park-Ricotti model, while the Bondi mod...

Fine-tuning in mixed Dark Matter models with Primordial Black Hole relics
In mixed dark matter models combining Planck-mass black hole relics, Hawking-evaporated particles, and a WIMP, freeze-in, or axion component, the total abundance's fine-tuning is dominated by the primordial power spec...

In-depth analysis of the clustering of dark matter particles around primordial black holes. Part II. Analytical prescriptions for spikes
A 'soft' analytical approximation reproduces PBH minispike densities and annihilation rates to ~±15%, and shows that a discovered sub-solar PBH population would strongly constrain s-wave WIMP dark matter.

Primordial Black Holes and the First Stars
Massive primordial black holes shift Population III star formation to higher redshifts while lower-mass ones can delay it, and the resulting collapse redshifts yield new abundance constraints.

Constraints on Primordial Black Hole Dressed by Dark Matter Halo from Microlensing Effect of Fast Radio Bursts
A new conversion formula turns monochromatic bare-PBH microlensing bounds into extended-mass dressed-PBH bounds, and a 10^5-FRB forecast places f_PBH near 10^-4.

Constraining the Coexistence of Primordial Black Holes and Particle Dark Matter with Neutrino Observations
A refined halo model turns neutrino-telescope data into upper limits on the primordial-black-hole fraction f_PBH, reaching ~10^-8 in some mass ranges for mixed WIMP/FIMP scenarios.

Constraining primordial black holes and primordial curvature power spectrum with extragalactic muon neutrino
Neutrino flux from WIMP annihilation in PBH-seeded UCMHs yields f_PBH ≲ 4×10^{-5} (strongest) and P_R ≲ 10^{-1.65} at k∼3×10^{12} Mpc^{-1}.

January Food Benchmark (JFB): A Public Benchmark Dataset and Evaluation Suite for Multimodal Food Analysis
The abstract promises a food-image benchmark and a winning model, but the manuscript pages contain only a different paper on primordial black holes, leaving every benchmark claim unsubstantiated.

Asymmetries from a charged memory-burdened PBH
A parameter-space scan shows that very large curvature-current couplings can fit the baryon asymmetry and dark matter abundance, while the electric charge of the black hole plays no role in the mechanism.
