Primordial black holes (PBHs) are supposed to form from the collapse of over-densed regions generated by large scalar curvature perturbations in the radiation dominated era. Despite decades of various independent observations, the nature of dark matter (DM) remains highly puzzling. Recently, PBH DM have aroused interest since they provide an attracting explanation to the merger events of binary black holes discovered by LIGO/VIRGO and may play an important role on DM. During the formation of PBH, gravitational waves will be sourced by linear scalar perturbations at second-order, known as the scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs), which provides a new way to hunt for PBH DM. This topic review mainly focus on the physics about SIGWs accompanying the formation of PBH DM.

  1. Constraints on the Primordial Black Hole Abundance using Pulsar Parameter Drifts

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    The first search for scalar-induced gravitational waves via pulsar parameter drifts yields f_PBH < 10^{-10} (95% CL) for PBH masses 0.3 to 4e4 solar masses, strongly disfavoring a primordial black hole origin for LVK ...

  2. Evading the CMB $\mu$-distortion bound on Supermassive Primordial Black Hole seeds with Non-Gaussian tails

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Under the FIRAS μ-distortion variance cap, power-law and heavy log-normal PDF tails can yield seed-relevant PBH abundances, while Gaussian and ordinary exponential tails cannot.

  3. Exploring the statistical anisotropy of primordial curvature perturbations with pulsar timing arrays

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A phenomenological dipole anisotropy in primordial perturbations induces dipolar and quadrupolar anisotropies in SIGW energy density spectra, producing frequency-dependent PTA overlap reduction functions that depend o...

  4. Evading the CMB $\mu$-distortion bound on Supermassive Primordial Black Hole seeds with Non-Gaussian tails

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Under a FIRAS variance cap, ordinary exponential non-attractor tails cannot seed 10^5–10^7 M⊙ PBHs, but algebraic and sufficiently heavy log-normal tails can.

  5. Ultralight dark matter mixed with primordial black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In mixed ULDM-PBH halos the continuum PBH contribution alters soliton structure at the tens-of-percent level while discrete shot noise induces mode transitions too slow to matter on galactic timescales.

  6. Inflationary interpretation of the gravitational-wave signal in the European Pulsar Timing Array DR2 with constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Constrains inflationary tensor parameters to fit the EPTA DR2 signal under CMB, BBN and LVK bounds, favoring radiation-era horizon re-entry but requiring low reheating temperatures.

  7. Scalar induced gravitational waves review

    gr-qc 2021-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review that unifies analytical expressions for scalar-induced gravitational waves and emphasizes calculations for non-radiation-dominated cosmologies.
