abstract
We use Planck data released in 2015 to constrain the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) in dark matter in two different reionization models (one is the instantaneous reionization and the other is the asymmetric reionization), and significantly improve the upper limits on the abundance of PBHs from WMAP 3-year data by around two orders of magnitude. Furthermore, these new limits imply that the event rates of mergers of PBH binaries (Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$) are less than $0.002$ for $M_\text{pbh}=30M_\odot$, $5$ for $M_\text{pbh}=10M_\odot$ and $2000$ for $M_\text{pbh}=2M_\odot$ at $95\%$ confidence level (C.L.), and thus GW150914 seems very unlikely produced by the merger of a PBH binary.

CMB Bounds on Primordial Black Holes via Radiation Capture
Radiation capture by primordial black holes heavier than 10^15 solar masses modifies cosmic expansion enough for Planck CMB data to bound their abundance below 10 percent.

Constraints on the primordial curvature power spectrum at small scales between $3\times 10^{18}$ and $4.5\times 10^{21}~\rm Mpc^{-1}$
Using recent bounds on light, memory-burdened primordial black holes, this paper derives new upper limits on the curvature power spectrum, roughly P_R < 10^-1.7, for wavenumbers 4.5e18 to 1.8e21 Mpc^-1.
