abstract
We review the formation and evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) and their possible contribution to dark matter. Various constraints suggest they could only provide most of it in the mass windows $10^{17}$ - $10^{23}\,$g or $10$ - $10^{2}\,M_{\odot}$, with the last possibility perhaps being suggested by the LIGO/Virgo observations. However, PBHs could have important consequences even if they have a low cosmological density. Sufficiently large ones might generate cosmic structures and provide seeds for the supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. Planck-mass relics of PBH evaporations or stupendously large black holes bigger than $10^{12}\,M_{\odot}$ could also be an interesting dark component.

Quantum Field Theory Of Cosmological Perturbations Induced By Ultralight Dark Matter
Classical ULDM condensate decouples from GW propagation; squeezing-induced parametric resonance of primordial tensor modes is ≲10^{-12} for non-relativistic ULDM at equality.

The swallowed spike: the formation of light primordial black hole structures around heavy seeds
No torque mechanism studied supplies enough angular momentum for the innermost light-PBH shells around a heavy seed, so the spike core is swallowed and far less dense than a WIMP spike.

The diffraction-lensing interpretation of GW231123 with astrophysical priors
GW231123 is better fit by a lower-mass merger diffracted by an isolated ~1000 M_sun lens, but astrophysical priors and a frequentist rate estimate make this lensing interpretation unlikely.

Primordial black hole in Lorentz-violating theories: Insights from Bumblebee gravity
Bumblebee gravity enhances primordial black hole abundance through three mechanisms, but the model harbors a ghost instability and a tachyonic instability that make it cosmologically unviable.

Towards the Direct Detection of Composite Ultraheavy Dark Matter in Quantum Sensor Arrays
A quantum sensor array could be sensitive to Planck-mass composite dark matter with radii around a centimeter via Yukawa forces, with a signal that scales as λ² instead of exponentially for short screening lengths.

Primordial Black Holes and the First Stars
Massive primordial black holes shift Population III star formation to higher redshifts while lower-mass ones can delay it, and the resulting collapse redshifts yield new abundance constraints.

Dynamical Evolutions in Globular Clusters and Dwarf Galaxies: Conduction Fluid Simulations
A two-fluid conduction model of stars plus collisionless dark matter predicts that most globular clusters have undergone mass segregation and core collapse on a Hubble time, whereas most dwarf galaxies have not.

Complementary Probes of Warped Extra Dimension: Colliders, Gravitational Waves and Primordial Black Holes from Phase Transitions
In Randall-Sundrum warped extra dimension models, the supercooled radion phase transition can form primordial black holes that account for all of dark matter for IR scales 10 TeV to 10^4 TeV, with correlated gravitati...

Constraints on Primordial Black Hole Dressed by Dark Matter Halo from Microlensing Effect of Fast Radio Bursts
A new conversion formula turns monochromatic bare-PBH microlensing bounds into extended-mass dressed-PBH bounds, and a 10^5-FRB forecast places f_PBH near 10^-4.

Refining primordial black hole dark matter constraints with dust heating: the role of spin and halo profile dependence
Dust-heating constraints on PBH dark matter tighten to f_PBH ≈ 10^-4 when PBH spin is included, with the strongest limits for the Isothermal halo profile and weakest for Burkert.

Stochastic Evolution of Primordial Black Holes to near-extremality in EFTs of Gravity
In EFT-modified gravity, about the same fraction of primordial black holes (24.6–24.9%) spin up to near-extremality as in GR (~24.7%), and those survivors carry ~10x enhanced near-horizon tidal forces.

Influence of supermassive primordial black holes on ultraviolet luminosity of high-redshift galaxies
Fitting a model of supermassive primordial black holes to JWST data at z=11 reproduces the excess of bright galaxies, but the agreement reflects parameter tuning rather than an independent test.

Primordial black holes through preheating instabilities in $\alpha$-attractor models
In alpha-attractor models, preheating self-resonance can form primordial black holes of 10^2 to 10^7 g, with the Khlopov-Polnarev collapse formalism staying viable and the Press-Schechter formalism overproducing.

Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes
Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.

New bounds on Memory Burdened Primordial Black Holes from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Memory-burdened primordial black holes lighter than 10^9 grams are newly constrained by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, with a residual unconstrained window around 1-100 grams for suppression index k=2.

Cosmological constraints on small-scale primordial non-Gaussianity
Current pulsar-timing, CMB, BAO and PBH data constrain the small-scale local f_NL to -10.0 < f_NL < 1.2 for a monochromatic primordial power spectrum, with that constraint conditional on the spectral amplitude A_zeta = 10^-2.
