abstract
We present a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of sub-solar mass black hole binaries using data from the first half of Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run. The observation of a sub-solar mass black hole merger may be an indication of primordial origin; primordial black holes may contribute to the dark matter distribution. We search for black hole mergers where the primary mass is $0.1-7 M_{\odot}$ and the secondary mass is $0.1-1 M_{\odot}$. A variety of models predict the production and coalescence of binaries containing primordial black holes; some involve dynamical assembly which may allow for residual eccentricity to be observed. For component masses $>0.5 M_{\odot}$, we also search for sources in eccentric orbits, measured at a reference gravitational-wave frequency of 10 Hz, up to $e_{10}\sim 0.3$. We find no convincing candidates and place new upper limits on the rate of primordial black hole mergers. The merger rate of 0.5-0.5 (1.0-1.0)~$M_{\odot}$ sources is $<7100~(1200)$ Gpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$. Our limits are $\sim3-4$ times more constraining than prior analyses. Finally, we demonstrate how our limits can be used to constrain arbitrary models of the primordial black hole mass distribution and merger rate.

Searching for binary black hole mergers with deep learning in Advanced LIGO's third observing run
A hybrid matched-filter/deep-learning pipeline recovers 31 known O3 events and reports a new tentative high-mass candidate, with sensitivity comparable to existing searches only for chirp masses above 25 solar masses.

Is the formation of primordial black holes from single-field inflation compatible with standard cosmology?
Producing primordial black holes in single-field inflation typically forces more than about 55 e-folds after CMB-mode exit, conflicting with standard reheating unless the model is retuned or reheating is exotic.
