Primordial Black Holes as a Probe of Cosmology and High Energy Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent developments in the study of primordial black holes (PBHs) will be reviewed, with particular emphasis on their formation and evaporation. PBHs could provide a unique probe of the early Universe, gravitational collapse, high energy physics and quantum gravity. Indeed their study may place interesting constraints on the physics relevant to these areas even if they never formed.

Primordial black holes in braneworld cosmologies: Formation, cosmological evolution, and evaporation
We consider the population evolution and evaporation of primordial black holes in the simplest braneworld cosmology: Randall-Sundrum type II. We demonstrate that black holes forming during the high-energy phase of this theory ~where the expansion rate is proportional to the density! have a modified evaporation law, resulting in a longer lifetime and lower temperature at evaporation, while those...
متن کاملPrimordial black holes in braneworld cosmologies: Astrophysical constraints
In two recent papers we explored the modifications to primordial black hole physics when one moves to the simplest braneworld model, Randall-Sundrum type II. Both the evaporation law and the cosmological evolution of the population can be modified, and additionally accretion of energy from the background can be dominant over evaporation at high energies. In this paper we present a detailed stud...
متن کاملPrimordial Black Holes as Dark Matter: the Power Spectrum and Evaporation of Early Structures
We consider the possibility that massive primordial black holes are the dominant form of dark matter. Black hole formation generates entropy fluctuations that adds a Poisson noise to the matter power spectrum. We use Ly-α forest observations to constrain this Poisson term in matter power spectrum, then we constrain the mass of black holes to be less than ∼ few × 10 M⊙. We also find that structu...
متن کاملPrimordial Black Holes in Phantom Cosmology
In this paper, we investigate the effects of accretion of phantom energy onto primordial black holes. Since Hawking radiation and phantom energy accretion contribute to a decrease of the mass of the black hole, the primordial black hole that would be expected to decay now due to the Hawking process would decay earlier due to the inclusion of the phantom energy. Equivalently, to have the primord...
متن کاملPrimordial black holes in braneworld cosmologies: Accretion after formation
We recently studied the formation and evaporation of primordial black holes in a simple braneworld cosmology, namely the Randall-Sundrum type II cosmology. Here we study the effect of accretion from the cosmological background onto the black holes after formation. While it is generally believed that in the standard cosmology such accretion is of negligible importance, we find that during the hi...
