abstract

We investigate the probability distribution of the spins of primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the universe dominated by a perfect fluid with the linear equation of state $p=w\rho$, where $p$ and $\rho$ are the pressure and energy density of the fluid, respectively. We particularly focus on the parameter region $0<w\leq 1/3$ since the larger value of the spin is expected for the softer equation of state than that of the radiation fluid ($w=1/3$). The angular momentum inside the collapsing region is estimated based on the linear perturbation equation at the turn-around time which we define as the time when the linear velocity perturbation in the conformal Newtonian gauge takes the minimum value. The probability distribution is derived based on the peak theory with the Gaussian curvature perturbation. We find that the root mean square of the non-dimensional Kerr parameter $\sqrt{\langle a_{*}^2\rangle}$ is approximately proportional to $(M/M_{H})^{-1/3}(6w)^{-(1+2w)/(1+3w)}$, where $M$ and $M_{H}$ are the mass of the PBH and the horizon mass at the horizon entry, respectively. Therefore the typical value of the spin parameter decreases with the value of $w$. We also evaluate the mass and spin distribution $P(a_{*}, M)$, taking account of the critical phenomena. We find that, while the spin is mostly distributed in the range of $10^{-3.9}\leq a_{*}\leq 10^{-1.8}$ for the radiation-dominated universe, the peak of the spin distribution is shifted to the larger range $10^{-3.0}\leq a_{*}\leq 10^{-0.7}$ for $w=10^{-3}$.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    O(100-10^5) string axions enhance PBH superradiance efficiency via increased spin, expanding viable mass-spin regions for micro-boson star dark matter while too many axions cause overly rapid evaporation.

  2. Gravitational wave signatures of primordial black hole accretion during early matter domination

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    PBHs that form in a radiation era and accrete during an early matter era could produce a two-peak GW background detectable by LISA or BBO for asteroid-mass PBHs as all of dark matter.
