Black Hole Remnants and Dark Matter
read the original abstract
We argue that, when the gravity effect is included, the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) may prevent black holes from total evaporation in a similar way that the standard uncertainty principle prevents the hydrogen atom from total collapse. Specifically we invoke the GUP to obtain a modified Hawking temperature, which indicates that there should exist non-radiating remnants (BHR) of about Planck mass. BHRs are an attractive candidate for cold dark matter. We investigate an alternative cosmology in which primordial BHRs are the primary source of dark matter.

Fermion Condensate Inflation, Dynamical Waterfall Mechanism and Primordial Black Holes
Torsion-induced fermion condensate produces hybrid inflation with axial-chemical-potential waterfall, Q-ball PBH seeds, and parity-violating signatures in Chern-Simons gravity.

Constraints on Primordial Black Holes
Updated compilation shows PBHs are tightly constrained across 55 orders of magnitude in mass, ruling out dominant dark matter contributions except in narrow windows, with many limits carrying observational uncertainties.
