We review the consequences of the growth and evolution of black holes (BHs) for the distribution of stars and dark matter (DM) around them. We focus in particular on supermassive and intermediate mass black holes (SMBHs and IMBHs, respectively), and discuss under what circumstances they can lead to significant overdensities in the surrounding distribution of DM, thus effectively acting as DM annihilation boosters.

Intermediate Mass Black Holes

Among particle theory candidates for the dark matter constituents. Axions and WIMPs are the most popular. In this paper, we discuss these then focus on our preferred astrophysical candidate, the Primordial Intermediate Mass Black Holes in the acronym DM[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]PIMBHs. The earliest experimental confirmation may come from microlensing of the Magellanic Clouds at the LSST 8 m telescope in the mid-2020s, or possibly a few years earlier in 2021 from work being pursued, using DECam data from the smaller Blanco 4 m telescope, at LLNL.
