We study the formation of spinning primordial black holes during an early matter-dominated era. Using non-linear 3+1D general relativistic simulations, we compute the efficiency of mass and angular momentum transfer in the process -- which we find to be $\mathcal{O}(10\%)$ and $\mathcal{O}(5\%)$, respectively. We show that subsequent evolution is important due to the seed PBH accreting non-rotating matter from the background, which decreases the dimensionless spin. Unless the matter era is short, we argue that the final dimensionless spin will be negligible.

  1. Gravitational Waves from Black Hole Reheating: The Scalar-Induced Component

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Accounting for the minimal mass spread of primordial black holes from gravitational collapse suppresses the Poltergeist GW background to the level of generic scalar-induced signals and reopens ultra-light PBH parameter space.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Primordial black hole formation from slow first-order phase transitions remains viable if slow reheating after supercooling creates an early matter-dominated era allowing small overdensities to grow, producing black h...

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Finite coherence during tidal Bohr crossings in axion clouds produces distinct, localized gravitational-wave waveforms and orbital responses in black-hole binaries.

  4. Reviving primordial black hole formation in slow first-order phase transitions

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Slow reheating after a supercooled first-order phase transition allows an early matter-dominated era in which small curvature perturbations grow sufficiently to form primordial black holes.
