Available data on the chirp mass distribution of the coalescing black hole binaries in O1-O3 LIGO/Virgo runs are analyzed and compared statistically with the distribution calculated under the assumption that these black holes are primordial with a log-normal mass spectrum. The theoretically calculated chirp mass distribution with the inferred best acceptable mass spectrum parameters, $M_0=17 M_odot$ and $gamma=0.9$, perfectly describes the data. The value of $M_0$ very well agrees with the theoretically expected one. On the opposite, the chirp mass distribution of black hole binaries originated from massive binary star evolution requires additional model adjustments to reproduce the observed chirp mass distribution

Primordial black holes created in the early Universe can constitute a substantial fraction of dark matter and serve as seeds for early galaxy formation. Binary primordial black holes with masses of the order of a few dozen solar masses can explain th e observed LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave events. In this Letter, we show that primordial black holes with log-normal mass spectrum centered at $M_0simeq 15-17 M_odot$ simultaneously explain both the chirp mass distribution of the detected LIGO/Virgo binary black holes and the differential chirp mass distribution of merging binaries as inferred from the LIGO/Virgo observations. The obtained parameters of log-normal mass spectrum of primordial black holes also give the fraction of seeds with $Mgtrsim 10^4 M_odot$ required to explain the observed population of supermassive black holes at $z=6-7$.
Using the numerical method, we study dynamics of coalescing black holes on the Eguchi-Hanson base space. Effects of a difference in spacetime topology on the black hole dynamics is discussed. We analyze appearance and disappearance process of margina l surfaces. In our calculation, the area of a coverall black hole horizon at the creation time in the coalescing black holes solutions on Eguchi-Hanson space is larger than that in the five-dimensional Kastor-Traschen solutions. This fact suggests that the black hole production on the Eguchi-Hanson space is easier than that on the flat space.
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.
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.
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.
