Primordial Black Holes Confront LIGO/Virgo data: Current situation
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
The LIGO and Virgo Interferometers have so far provided 11 gravitational-wave (GW) observations of black-hole binaries. Similar detections are bound to become very frequent in the…
The Evolution of Primordial Black Holes and their Final Observable Spins
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
Primordial black holes in the mass range of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors can comprise a significant fraction of the dark matter. Mass and spin measurements from coales…
Constraints on Primordial Black Holes: the Importance of Accretion
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
We consider the constraints on the fraction of dark matter in the universe in the form of primordial black holes taking into account the crucial role of accretion which may change…
On the Primordial Black Hole Mass Function for Broad Spectra
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto
We elaborate on the mass function of primordial black holes in the case in which the power spectrum of the curvature perturbation is broad. For the case of a broad and flat spectru…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
On the Gauge Invariance of Cosmological Gravitational Waves
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Kehagias +1
The issue of the gauge invariance of gravitational waves arises if they are produced in the early universe at second-order in perturbation theory. We address it by dividing the dis…
