Description

Primordial black holes have grown in popularity as a dark matter candidate. Different mass spectrum for them are currently under consideration. In this talk I discuss how Loop Quantum Cosmology can integrate the presence of primordial black holes, either in an inflationary scenario or in a ekpyrotic scenario. I review some recent results and discuss the current work in progress. I focus in particular on the possibility of primordial black holes being in the form of black holes remnants: I review the process of creating the remnants from a black-to-while hole transition and the phenomenology associated to them as dark matter.
