We reconsider the possibility that the observed baryon asymmetry was generated by the evaporation of primordial black holes that dominated the early universe. We present a simple derivation showing that the baryon asymmetry is insensitive to the initial black hole density and the cosmological model but is sensitive to the temperature-dependence of the CP and baryon-violating (or lepton-violating) interactions. We also consider the possibility that black holes stop evaporating and form Planck-mass remnants that act as dark matter. We show that primordial black holes cannot simultaneously account for both the observed baryon asymmetry and the (remnant) dark matter density unless the magnitude of CP violation is much greater than expected from most particle physics models. Finally, we apply these results to ekpyrotic/cyclic models, in which primordial black holes may form when branes collide. We find that obtaining the observed baryon asymmetry is compatible with the other known constraints on parameters.

  1. Baryogenesis via the CKM Matrix with Minimal Flavor Violation

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An MFV leptoquark model shows that the CKM phase alone can in principle generate the observed baryon asymmetry without time-varying model parameters.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Accounting for the minimal mass spread of primordial black holes from gravitational collapse suppresses the Poltergeist GW background to the level of generic scalar-induced signals and reopens ultra-light PBH parameter space.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Incorporating the general-relativity mass tail df_PBH/d ln M ∝ M^3.78 smooths PBH evaporation, suppresses the scalar-induced GW signal by orders of magnitude, and reopens the ultra-light PBH window for the hot Big Bang.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Standard Model emission, a Schwarzschild primordial black hole of about 6.23 x 10^14 grams would reach its Page time at the current age of the Universe.

  7. The Magnetic Origin of Primordial Black Holes: Ultralight PBHs and Secondary GWs

    Inflationary magnetic fields induce curvature perturbations that form ultralight PBHs, generating a stochastic GW background with model-specific features.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes formed from magnetically induced density fluctuations could explain all dark matter, but only in a finely tuned parameter window.

    PBH-assisted leptogenesis produces a multi-peaked GW spectrum in the MHz-EHz range from RHN graviton bremsstrahlung plus PBH-related sources.

    A likelihood forecast shows e-ASTROGAM could, in parts of the f1-f2 plane, distinguish double-peaked from single-peaked PBH gamma-ray spectra in the 1e15 to 1e17 g mass window.

    hep-ph 2024-12 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A parameter-space scan shows that very large curvature-current couplings can fit the baryon asymmetry and dark matter abundance, while the electric charge of the black hole plays no role in the mechanism.
