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 mass 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.
We consider gravitational radiation and electromagnetic radiation from point mass binary with electric charges in a Keplerian orbit, and calculate the merger rate distribution of primordial black hole binaries with charges and a general mass function
by taking into account gravitational torque and electromagnetic torque by the nearest primordial black hole. We apply the formalism to the extremal charged case and find that $alpha=-(m_i+m_j)^2partial^2 ln {cal R}(m_i,m_j)/partial m_i partial m_j=12/11$, which is independent of the mass function.
One of the seemingly strongest constraints on the fraction of dark matter in the form of primordial black holes (PBH) of ${cal O}$(10)$,M_odot$ relies on the merger rate inferred from the binary BH merger events detected by LIGO/Virgo. The robustness
of these bounds depends however on the accuracy with which the formation of PBH binaries in the early Universe can be described. We revisit the standard estimate of the merger rate, focusing on a couple of key ingredients: the spatial distribution of nearest neighbours and the initial clustering of PBHs associated to a given primordial power spectrum. Overall, we confirm the robustness of the results presented in the literature in the case of a narrow mass function (which constrain the PBH fraction of dark matter to be $f_{rm PBH}lesssim 0.001-0.01$). The initial clustering of PBHs might have an effect tightening the current constraint, but only for very broad mass functions, corresponding to wide bumps in the primordial power spectra extending at least over a couple of decades in $k$-space.
As a candidate of dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) have attracted more and more attentions as they could be possible progenitors of the heavy binary black holes (BBHs) observed by LIGO/Virgo. Accurately estimating the merger rate of PBH bin
aries will be crucial to reconstruct the mass distribution of PBHs. It was pointed out the merger history of PBHs may shift the merger rate distribution depending on the mass function of PBHs. In this paper, we use 10 BBH events from LIGO/Virgo O1 and O2 observing runs to constrain the merger rate distribution of PBHs by accounting the effect of merger history. It is found that the second merger process makes subdominant contribution to the total merger rate, and hence the merger history effect can be safely neglected.
The properties of primordial curvature perturbations on small scales are still unknown while those on large scales have been well probed by the observations of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and the large scale structure. In this paper,
we propose the reconstruction method of primordial curvature perturbations on small scales through the merger rate of binary primordial black holes, which could form from large primordial curvature perturbation on small scales.
