abstract
Primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the early Universe can accret dark matter particles due to gravity and form ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs). The theoretical researches and simulations have shown that the density profile of dark matter in UCMHs is in the form of $\rho (r) \sim r^{-2.25}$. Compared with the popular dark matter halo model, e.g. NFW model, dark matter annihilation rate is larger in UCMHs. Considering dark matter annihilation, there is a maximum core density $\rho_{\rm max}$ in UCMHs which has been treated independent on redshift. While in this work, we point out that $\rho_{\rm max}$ depends on redshift and dark matter annihilation rate in UCMHs also changes with time. We re-investigate the $\gamma$-ray flux from UCMHs due to dark matter annihilation and focus on their contributions to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB). Utilizing the EGB data of Fermi, the constraints on the abundance of PBHs are derived, $\Omega_{\rm PBH,EGB} \lesssim 2\times 10^{-8}$. Motivated by the recent observations of global 21cm signals by the EDGES experiment, we investigate the influences of dark matter annihilation in UCMHs on global 21cm signals and derive the constraints on the abundance of PBHs, $\Omega_{\rm PBH,21cm} \lesssim 2\times 10^{-10}$. The derived constraints are valid for mass range of $10^{-6} M_{\odot} \lesssim M_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10^{3} M_{\odot}$.

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.

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.
