Primordial Black Hole Formation in a Double Inflation Model in Supergravity
read the original abstract
It has been recently pointed out that the initial value problem in new inflation models is naturally solved by supergravity effects if there exists a pre-inflation before the new inflation. We study this double inflation model in details and find that density fluctuations on small cosmological scales are much larger than those on large scales due to peculiar property of the new inflation. We show that this results in production of primordial black holes which have $\sim 1 M_{\odot}$ masses in a certain parameter region of the double inflation model. We stress that these black holes may be identified with MACHOs observed in the halo of our galaxy.

The Magnetic Origin of Primordial Black Holes: Ultralight PBHs and Secondary GWs
Inflationary magnetic fields induce curvature perturbations that form ultralight PBHs, generating a stochastic GW background with model-specific features.

The End of the First Act: Spectral Running, Interacting Dark Radiation, and the Hubble Tension in Light of ACT DR6 Data
Including spectral running α_s, β_s and self-interacting dark radiation relaxes the ACT DR6 bound on ΔN_eff to <0.58 and lowers the Hubble tension to 2.2σ with three extra parameters.

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.
