The statistics of primordial black holes in a radiation dominated Universe -- recent and new results
read the original abstract
We review the non-linear statistics of Primordial Black Holes that form from the collapse of over-densities in a radiation dominated Universe. We focus on the scenario in which large over-densities are generated by rare and Gaussian curvature perturbations during inflation. As new results, we show that the mass spectrum follows a power law determined by the critical exponent of the self-similar collapse up to a power spectrum dependent cut-off, and that the abundance related to very narrow power spectra is exponentially suppressed. Related to this, we discuss and explicitly show that the Press-Schechter approximation, as well as the statistics of mean profiles, lead to wrong conclusions for the abundance and mass spectrum. Finally, we clarify that the transfer function in the statistics of initial conditions for primordial black holes formation (the abundance) does not play a significant role.

The statistics of curvature-profile dispersion in primordial black hole formation
Rare coherent shape deformations of primordial curvature profiles can dominate primordial black hole abundance by lowering the collapse threshold enough to overcome their Gaussian statistical cost.

Compaction function in stochastic inflation: a \texttt{FOREST} of type I and II primordial black holes
Stochastic binary tree method computes compaction function in inflation to distinguish type I/II PBH fluctuations, finding broader mass distributions and type-II dominance in quantum regimes of a toy model.

Memoirs of the curvaton: non-perturbative non-Gaussianity and supermassive primordial black holes
Curvaton self-interactions in non-quadratic potentials produce a local non-Gaussian map that enables supermassive primordial black hole formation at peak amplitudes of order 10^{-5} while remaining consistent with μ-d...
