Extreme Primordial Black Holes
arXiv:1910.12311 · doi:10.1002/asna.202113826
Abstract
We present a formalism for calculating the probability distribution of the most massive primordial black holes (PBHs) expected within an observational volume. We show how current observational upper bounds on the fraction of PBHs in dark matter translate to constraints on extreme masses of primordial black holes. We demonstrate the power of our formalism via a case study, and argue that our formalism can be used to produce extreme-value distributions for a wide range of PBH formation theories.
