Recent developments in the study of primordial black holes (PBHs) are reviewed, with particular emphasis on their formation and evaporation. It is still not clear whether PBHs formed but, if they did, they could provide a unique probe of the early Universe, gravitational collapse, high energy physics and quantum gravity. Indeed their study may place interesting constraints on the physics relevant to these areas even if they never existed.

  1. Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In z≈6 quasar simulations, super-Eddington black-hole growth clears escape channels, ejects cold clumps that raise neutral-hydrogen covering, and powers extended Hα nebulae that shrink when the quasar is obscured.

  2. Primordial black holes and the velocity acoustic oscillations features in 21 cm signals from the cosmic Dark Ages

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes generate up to 30% amplitude VAO wiggles in 21 cm signals from the Dark Ages at redshifts 20-40 even at dark matter fractions as low as 10^-13.

  3. Memory burden effect of regular primordial black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Combining regular black hole metrics with memory burden suppresses evaporation and opens a 10^6-10^8 g PBH mass window that can comprise all dark matter.

  4. Effects of formation channels and gravitational lensing on stochastic gravitational wave background

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using HBI on GWTC-4 data the authors compute lensed SGWBs for ABHs and PBHs and conclude that LIGO and ET can distinguish the two formation channels in specific frequency ranges, with ET offering broader coverage.

  5. Anisotropic Neutrino Emission from Spinning, Moving, and Charged Primordial Black Holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Kerr-Newman black holes moving relativistically emit neutrinos in a narrow forward cone, a combination of known spin and Doppler effects.
