Primordial Black Holes from Vector-Induced Curvature Perturbations Sourced by Primordial Magnetic Fields

Chang Han, Zu-Cheng Chen, Hongwei Yu +1

Generating an appreciable abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) requires a substantial enhancement of primordial curvature perturbations on small scales. In this work, we prop…
