abstract

Rotating black holes (BHs) can efficiently transfer energy to the surrounding environment via superradiance. In particular, when the Compton length of a particle is comparable to the gravitational radius of a BH, the particle's occupation number can be exponentially amplified. In this work, we investigate the effect of the primordial-black-hole (PBH) superradiant instabilities on the generation of heavy bosonic dark matter (DM) with mass above $\sim$ 1 TeV. Additionally, we analyze its interplay with other purely gravitational and therefore unavoidable DM production mechanisms such as Hawking emission and the ultraviolet freeze-in. We find that superradiance can significantly increase the DM density produced by PBHs with respect to the case that only considers Hawking emission, and hence lower initial PBH densities are required.

  1. String Axiverse Enhancement of Superradiant Dark Matter Production

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    O(100-10^5) string axions enhance PBH superradiance efficiency via increased spin, expanding viable mass-spin regions for micro-boson star dark matter while too many axions cause overly rapid evaporation.

  2. Page Time of Primordial Black Holes in the Standard Model and Beyond

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Standard Model emission, a Schwarzschild primordial black hole of about 6.23 x 10^14 grams would reach its Page time at the current age of the Universe.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
