Large primordial Black Hole (PBH) formation is enhanced if strongly coupled scalar and spinor fields ($Phi$ and $psi$) are a stable cosmic component since the primeval radiative expansion (SCDEW models). In particular, we show that PBH formation is easier at a specific time, i.e., when the asymptotic mass $m_H$, acquired by the $psi$ field at the higgs scale, becomes dominant, so that the typical BH mass $M_{BH}$ depends on $m_H$ value. For instance, if $m_H sim 100,$ eV $(1$ keV$)$ and the coupling $beta sim 8.35 (37)$, PBH with $M_{BH} simeq 10^7-10^8 $ $(10^3-10^4), M_odot$ could form. The very mechanism enhancing PBH formation also causes technical difficulties to evaluate the transfer function of SCDEW models at high $k$. A tentative solution of this problem leaves only minor discrepancies from $Lambda$CDM, also at these scales, gradually vanishing for greater $m_H$ values. We conclude that, for suitable parameter choices, SCDEW models could be the real physics underlying $Lambda$ CDM, so overcoming its fine tuning and coincidence problems, with the extra bonus of yielding large BH seeds.

Models including an energy transfer from CDM to DE are widely considered in the literature, namely to allow DE a significant high-z density. Strongly Coupled cosmologies assume a much larger coupling between DE and CDM, together with the presence of an uncoupled warm DM component, as the role of CDM is mostly restricted to radiative eras. This allows us to preserve small scale fluctuations even if the warm particle, possibly a sterile neutrino, is quite light, O(100 eV). Linear theory and numerical simulations show that these cosmologies agree with LCDM on supergalactic scales; e.g., CMB spectra are substantially identical. Simultaneously, simulations show that they significantly ease problems related to the properties of MW satellites and cores in dwarfs. SC cosmologies also open new perspectives on early black hole formation, and possibly lead towards unificating DE and inflationary scalar fields.
We investigate a possibility of primordial black hole (PBH) formation with a hierarchical mass spectrum in multiple phases of inflation. As an example, we find that one can simultaneously realize a mass spectrum which has recently attracted a lot of attention: stellar-mass PBHs ($simmathcal{O}(10)M_odot$) as a possible source of binary black holes detected by LIGO/Virgo collaboration, asteroid-mass ($simmathcal{O}(10^{-12})M_odot$) as a main component of dark matter, and earth-mass ($simmathcal{O}(10^{-5})M_odot$) as a source of ultrashort-timescale events in Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment microlensing data. The recent refined de Sitter swampland conjecture may support such a multi-phase inflationary scenario with hierarchical mass PBHs as a transition signal of each inflationary phase.
Evidences for the primordial black holes (PBH) presence in the early Universe renew permanently. New limits on their mass spectrum challenge existing models of PBH formation. One of the known model is based on the closed walls collapse after the infl ationary epoch. Its intrinsic feature is multiple production of small mass PBH which might contradict observations in the nearest future. We show that the mechanism of walls collapse can be applied to produce substantially different PBH mass spectra if one takes into account the classical motion of scalar fields together with their quantum fluctuations at the inflationary stage.
As the only dark matter candidate that does not invoke a new particle that survives to the present day, primordial black holes (PBHs) have drawn increasing attention recently. Up to now, various observations have strongly constrained most of the mass range for PBHs, leaving only small windows where PBHs could make up a substantial fraction of the dark matter. Here we revisit the PBH constraints for the asteroid-mass window, i.e., the mass range $3.5times 10^{-17}M_odot < m_{mathrm{PBH}} < 4times 10^{-12}M_odot$. We revisit 3 categories of constraints. (1) For optical microlensing, we analyze the finite source size and diffractive effects and discuss the scaling relations between the event rate, $m_{mathrm{PBH}}$ and the event duration. We argue that it will be difficult to push the existing optical microlensing constraints to much lower m$_{mathrm{PBH}}$. (2) For dynamical capture of PBHs in stars, we derive a general result on the capture rate based on phase space arguments. We argue that survival of stars does not constrain PBHs, but that disruption of stars by captured PBHs should occur and that the asteroid-mass PBH hypothesis could be constrained if we can work out the observational signature of this process. (3) For destruction of white dwarfs by PBHs that pass through the white dwarf without getting gravitationally captured, but which produce a shock that ignites carbon fusion, we perform a 1+1D hydrodynamic simulation to explore the post-shock temperature and relevant timescales, and again we find this constraint to be ineffective. In summary, we find that the asteroid-mass window remains open for PBHs to account for all the dark matter.
Although the dark matter is usually assumed to be some form of elementary particle, primordial black holes (PBHs) could also provide some of it. However, various constraints restrict the possible mass windows to $10^{16}$ - $10^{17},$g, $10^{20}$ - $ 10^{24},$g and $10$ - $10^{3},M_{odot}$. The last possibility is contentious but of special interest in view of the recent detection of black-hole mergers by LIGO/Virgo. PBHs might have important consequences and resolve various cosmological conundra even if they have only a small fraction of the dark-matter density. In particular, those larger than $10^{3},M_{odot}$ could generate cosmological structures through the seed or Poisson effect, thereby alleviating some problems associated with the standard cold dark-matter scenario, and sufficiently large PBHs might provide seeds for the supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. More exotically, the Planck-mass relics of PBH evaporations or stupendously large black holes bigger than $10^{12},M_{odot}$ could provide an interesting dark component.
