Abstract We study the parameter space of the effective (with two scalars) models of cosmological inflation and primordial black hole (PBH) formation in the modified (R+ R 2) supergravity. Our models describe double inflation, whose first stage is driven by Starobinsky’s scalaron coming from the R 2 gravity, and whose second stage is driven by another scalar belonging to the supergravity multiplet. The ultra-slow-roll regime between the two stages leads a large peak (enhancement) in the power spectrum of scalar perturbations, which results in efficient PBH formation. Both inflation and PBH formation are generic in our models, while those PBH can account for a significant part or the whole of dark matter. Some of the earlier proposed models in the same class are in tension (over 3σ) with the observed value of the scalar tilt ns , so that we study more general models with more parameters, and investigate the dependence of the cosmological tilts (ns,r) and the scalar power spectrum enhancement upon the parameters. The PBH masses and their density fraction (as part of dark matter) are also calculated. A good agreement (between 2σ and 3σ) with the observed value of ns requires fine tuning of the parameters, and it is only realized in the so-called δ-models. Our models offer the (super)gravitational origin of inflation, PBH and dark matter together, and may be confirmed or falsified by future precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation and PBH-induced gravitational waves.

AbstractWe show that the physical conditions which induce the Thakurta metric, recently studied by Bœhm et al. in the context of time-dependent black hole masses, correspond to a single accreting compact object in the entire Universe filled with isotropic non-interacting dust. In such a case, accretion physics is not local but tied to the properties of the whole Universe. We show that radiation, primordial black holes or particle dark matter cannot produce the specific energy flux required for supporting the mass growth of the compact objects described by the Thakurta metric. In particular, this solution does not apply to black hole binaries. We conclude that compact dark matter candidates and their mass growth cannot be described by the Thakurta metric, and thus existing constraints on the primordial black hole abundance from the LIGO-Virgo and the CMB measurements remain valid.

De Sitter Vacuum

We present a graviatom with de Sitter interior as a new candidate to atomic dark matter generically related to a vacuum dark energy through its de Sitter vacuum interior. It is a gravitationally bound quantum system consisting of a nucleus represented by a regular primordial black hole (RPBH), its remnant or gravitational vacuum soliton G-lump, and a charged particle. We estimate probability of formation of RPBHs and G-lumps in the early Universe and evaluate energy spectrum and electromagnetic radiation of graviatom which can in principle bear information about a fundamental symmetry scale responsible for de Sitter interior and serve as its observational signatures.
