Pathways for primordial black holes to resolve the dark matter problem

Ngo Phuc Duc Loc

National Taiwan University

I will present scenarios for primordial black holes (PBHs) to resolve the dark matter (DM) problem. First, I will show how ultra-light PBHs can produce the observed DM abundance via Hawking evaporation while satisfying cosmological constraints. Second, I will show how heavy PBHs themselves could also be a natural DM candidate.
