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.

  1. Bounded compactness from G(E)UP

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The generalized uncertainty principle bounds the compactness of any object much heavier than the Planck mass by about 1/α, and the existence of black holes forces the GUP parameter to satisfy α ≲ 2.

  2. Topological Thermodynamics of Generalized Bardeen Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Topological classification via winding numbers of a vector field from generalized off-shell free energy shows regular Bardeen black holes have two opposite defects and zero total charge while Schwarzschild has one uns...

  3. Constraints on Primordial Black Holes

    astro-ph.CO 2020-02 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Schwinger instability, modular flow, and holographic entropy for near-extremal charged BTZ black hole

    hep-th 2025-05 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A semiclassical study of charged pair creation and horizon entropy in near-extremal charged BTZ, whose central alignment claim is not actually established by the calculations.
