Primordial Black Holes and the Early Universe

Speaker

Jessica Turner (Durham University)

Description

Primordial black holes, which could have potentially formed after inflation, can have significant implications for the early Universe's history. Such a population of black holes, which may have differing mass and spin, can undergo evaporation due to Hawking radiation at different points in time. In this talk, I will review the potential impact of this evaporation on various cosmological observables, including the creation of matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark radiation, gravitational waves and dark matter.
