Micro Black Hole Dark Matter

Manuel Ettengruber, Florian Kuhnel

The influence of a possible low gravity scale, concretely through the presence of extra dimensions or additional species, on radiation properties of micro black holes is investigat…

Can a Breakdown of Hawking Evaporation Open a New Mass Window for Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter?

Gabriele Montefalcone, Dan Hooper, Katherine Freese +3

Semi-classical Hawking evaporation is expected to break down at some point in a black hole's evolution as the effects of quantum gravity become important. In particular, it has bee…

Primordial Black Holes

Bernard Carr, Florian Kuhnel

In this chapter we first describe the early history of primordial black hole (PBH) research. We then discuss their possible formation mechanisms, including critical collapse from i…

Aspects of Spatially-Correlated Random Fields: Extreme-Value Statistics and Clustering Properties

Ka Hei Choi, James Creswell, Florian Kuhnel +1

Rare events of large-scale spatially-correlated exponential random fields are studied. The influence of spatial correlations on clustering and non-sphericity is investigated. The s…

Observational Evidence for Primordial Black Holes: A Positivist Perspective

Bernard Carr, Sebastien Clesse, Juan Garcia-Bellido +2

We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This…

Primordial Black Holes

Albert Escrivà, Florian Kuhnel, Yuichiro Tada

Aspects of primordial black holes, i.e. black holes formed in the early Universe, are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on their formation, their role as dark matter candidates and…
