Description

Primordial black holes, which could have formed after inflation, can have significant implications for the history of the early Universe. Such a population of black holes, which may have differing mass and spin, can undergo evaporation due to Hawking radiation at different points in time. In this talk, I will review the potential impact of this evaporation on various cosmological observables, including the creation of matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark radiation, gravitational waves and dark matter.
