Revisiting formation of primordial black holes in a supercooled first-order phase transition
Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki
Abstract
We reexamine production of primordial black holes in a supercooled phase transition. While a mere overdensity associated with a surviving false-vacuum patch does not imply formation of a black hole, it is possible for such a patch to evolve and create a black hole, thanks to the gradient energy stored in the bubble wall.
