We investigate primordial black hole formation in the matter-dominated phase of the Universe, where nonspherical effects in gravitational collapse play a crucial role. This is in contrast to the black hole formation in a radiation-dominated era. We apply the Zeldovich approximation, Thornes hoop conjecture, and Doroshkevichs probability distribution and subsequently derive the production probability $beta_{0}$ of primordial black holes. The numerical result obtained is applicable even if the density fluctuation $sigma$ at horizon entry is of the order of unity. For $sigmall 1$, we find a semi-analytic formula $beta_{0}simeq 0.05556 sigma^{5}$, which is comparable with the Khlopov-Polnarev formula. We find that the production probability in the matter-dominated era is much larger than that in the radiation-dominated era for $sigmalesssim 0.05$, while they are comparable with each other for $sigmagtrsim 0.05$. We also discuss how $sigma$ can be written in terms of primordial curvature perturbations.

We re-analyse current single-field inflationary models related to primordial black holes formation. We do so by taking into account recent developments on the estimations of their abundances and the influence of non-gaussianities. We show that, for a ll of them, the gaussian approximation, which is typically used to estimate the primordial black holes abundances, fails. However, in the case in which the inflaton potential has an inflection point, the contribution of non-gaussianities is only perturbative. Finally, we infer that only models featuring an inflection point in the inflationary potential, might predict, with a very good approximation, the desired abundances by the sole use of the gaussian statistics.

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are those which may have formed in the early Universe and affected the subsequent evolution of the Universe through their Hawking radiation and gravitational field. To constrain the early Universe from the observational constraint on the abundance of PBHs, it is essential to determine the formation threshold for primordial cosmological fluctuations, which are naturally described by cosmological long-wavelength solutions. I will briefly review our recent analytical and numerical results on the PBH formation.
The standard deviation of the initial values of the nondimensional Kerr parameter $a_{*}$ of primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the radiation-dominated phase of the universe is estimated to the first order of perturbation for the narrow power sp ectrum. Evaluating the angular momentum at turn around based on linearly extrapolated transfer functions and peak theory, we obtain the expression $sqrt{langle a_{*}^{2} rangle} simeq 4.0times 10^{-3} (M/M_{H})^{-1/3}sqrt{1-gamma^{2}}[1-0.072 log_{10}(beta_{0}(M_{H})/(1.3times 10^{-15}))]^{-1}$, where $M_{H}$, $beta_{0}(M_{H})$, and $gamma$ are the mass within the Hubble horizon at the horizon entry of the overdense region, the fraction of the universe which collapsed to PBHs at the scale of $M_{H}$, and a quantity which characterizes the width of the power spectrum, respectively. This implies that for $Msimeq M_{H}$, the higher the probability of the PBH formation, the larger the standard deviation of the spins, while PBHs of $Mll M_{H}$ formed through near-critical collapse may have larger spins than those of $Msimeq M_{H}$. In comparison to the previous estimate, the new estimate has the explicit dependence on the ratio $M/M_{rm H}$ and no direct dependence on the current dark matter density. On the other hand, it suggests that the first-order effect can be numerically comparable to the second-order one.
Primordial Black Holes (PBH) from peaks in the curvature power spectrum could constitute today an important fraction of the Dark Matter in the Universe. At horizon reentry, during the radiation era, order one fluctuations collapse gravitationally to form black holes and, at the same time, generate a stochastic background of gravitational waves coming from second order anisotropic stresses in matter. We study the amplitude and shape of this background for several phenomenological models of the curvature power spectrum that can be embedded in waterfall hybrid inflation, axion, domain wall, and boosts of PBH formation at the QCD transition. For a broad peak or a nearly scale invariant spectrum, this stochastic background is generically enhanced by about one order of magnitude, compared to a sharp feature. As a result, stellar-mass PBH from Gaussian fluctuations with a wide mass distribution are already in strong tension with the limits from Pulsar Timing Arrays, if they constitute a non negligible fraction of the Dark Matter. But this result is mitigated by the uncertainties on the curvature threshold leading to PBH formation. LISA will have the sensitivity to detect or rule out light PBH down to $10^{-14} M_{odot}$. Upcoming runs of LIGO/Virgo and future interferometers such as the Einstein Telescope will increase the frequency lever arm to constrain PBH from the QCD transition. Ultimately, the future SKA Pulsar Timing Arrays could probe the existence of even a single stellar-mass PBH in our Observable Universe.
Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range $(30$--$100)~M_{odot}$ are interesting candidates for dark matter, as they sit in a narrow window between microlensing and cosmic microwave background constraints. There are however tight constraints fr om the binary merger rate observed by the LIGO and Virgo experiments. In deriving these constraints, PBHs were treated as point Schwarzschild masses, while the more careful analysis in an expanding universe we present here, leads to a time-dependent mass. This implies a stricter set of conditions for a black hole binary to form and means that black holes coalesce much more quickly than was previously calculated, namely well before the LIGO/Virgos observed mergers. The observed binaries are those coalescing within galactic halos, with a merger rate consistent with data. This reopens the possibility for dark matter in the form of LIGO-mass PBHs.
