In this paper we derive the probability of the radial profiles of spherically symmetric inhomogeneities in order to provide an improved estimation of the number density of primordial black holes (PBHs). We demonstrate that the probability of PBH formation depends sensitively on the radial profile of the initial configuration. We do this by characterising this profile with two parameters chosen heuristically: the amplitude of the inhomogeneity and the second radial derivative, both evaluated at the centre of the configuration. We calculate the joint probability of initial cosmological inhomogeneities as a function of these two parameters and then find a correspondence between these parameters and those used in numerical computations of PBH formation. Finally, we extend our heuristic study to evaluate the probability of PBH formation taking into account for the first time the radial profile of curvature inhomogeneities.

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are an important tool in cosmology to probe the primordial spectrum of small-scale curvature perturbations that reenter the cosmological horizon during radiation domination epoch. We numerically solve the evolution of sp
herically symmetric highly perturbed configurations to clarify the criteria of PBHs formation using an extremely wide class of curvature profiles characterized by five parameters, (in contrast to only two parameters used in all previous papers) which specify the curvature profiles not only at the central region but also at the outer boundary of configurations. It is shown that formation or non-formation of PBHs is determined entirely by only two master parameters one of which can be presented as an integral of curvature over initial configurations and the other is presented in terms of the position of the boundary and the edge of the core.
We calculate the exact formation probability of primordial black holes generated during the collapse at horizon re-entry of large fluctuations produced during inflation, such as those ascribed to a period of ultra-slow-roll. We show that it interpola
tes between a Gaussian at small values of the average density contrast and a Cauchy probability distribution at large values. The corresponding abundance of primordial black holes may be larger than the Gaussian one by several orders of magnitude. The mass function is also shifted towards larger masses.
For an arbitrary strong, spherically symmetric super-horizon curvature perturbation, we present analytical solutions of the Einstein equations in terms of asymptotic expansion over the ratio of the Hubble radius to the length-scale of the curvature p
erturbation under consideration. To obtain this solution we develop a recursive method of quasi-linearization which reduces the problem to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations for the $N$-th order terms in the asymptotic expansion with sources consisting of a non-linear combination of the lower order terms. We use this solution for setting initial conditions for subsequent numerical computations. For an arbitrary precision requirement predetermined by the intended accuracy and stability of the computer code, our analytical solution yields optimal truncated asymptotic expansion which can be used to find the upper limit on the moment of time when the initial conditions expressed in terms of such truncated expansion should be set. Examples of how these truncated (up to eighth order) solutions provide initial conditions with given accuracy for different radial profiles of curvature perturbations are presented.
If the primordial curvature perturbation followed a Gaussian distribution, primordial black holes (PBHs) will be Poisson distributed with no additional clustering. We consider local non-Gaussianity and its impact on the initial PBH clustering and mas
s function due to mode coupling between long and short wavelength modes. We show that even a small amount of non-Gaussianity results in a significant enhancement on the PBH initial clustering and subsequent merger rate and that the PBH mass function shifts to higher mass PBHs. However, as the clustering becomes strong, the local number density of PBHs becomes large, leading to a large theoretical uncertainty in the merger rate.
The merger rate of primordial black holes depends on their initial clustering. In the absence of primordial non-Gaussianity correlating short and large-scales, primordial black holes are distributed `a la Poisson at the time of their formation. Howev
er, primordial non-Gaussianity of the local-type may correlate primordial black holes on large-scales. We show that future experiments looking for CMB $mu$-distortion would test the hypothesis of initial primordial black hole clustering induced by local non-Gaussianity, while existing limits already show that significant non-Gaussianity is necessary to induce primordial black hole clustering.
