Superfluid Dark Matter around Black Holes
Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury
Superfluid dark matter, consisting of self-interacting light particles that thermalize and condense to form a superfluid in galaxies, provides a novel theory that matches the succe…
Ruling out Initially Clustered Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto +1
Combining constraints from microlensing and Lyman- forest, we provide a simple argument to show that large spatial clustering of stellar-mass primordial black holes at the time…
Signals from the Early Universe: Black Holes, Gravitational Waves and Particle Physics
Valerio De Luca
We dedicate this thesis to the study of signatures coming from the primordial epochs of the universe. We will focus in particular on Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), which may be for…
A Note on the Abundance of Primordial Black Holes: Use and Misuse of the Metric Curvature Perturbation
V. De Luca, A. Riotto
The formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) through the collapse of large fluctuations in the early universe is a rare event. This manifests itself, for instance, through the no…
