Mass bound for primordial black hole from trans-Planckian censorship conjecture
arXiv:1910.07981 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.043508
Abstract
The recently proposed trans-Planckian censorship conjecture (TCC) imposes a strong constraint on the inflationary Hubble scale, of which the upper bound could be largely relaxed by considering a noninstantaneous reheating history. In this paper we will show that, if the primordial black holes (PBHs) are formed at reentry in the radiation-dominated era from the enhanced curvature perturbations at small scales, the TCC would impose a lower bound on the PBH mass regardless of the details for reheating history, where is the collapse efficiency factor and is the Hubble scale at the end of inflation. In particular, the current open window for PBHs to make up all the cold dark matter could be totally ruled out if the inflationary Hubble scale is larger than 10 TeV. For the case of PBHs formed in an early matter-dominated era, an upper mass bound is obtained.
