Physics Colloquium
Black holes that could form in the early universe, before
the stars were born, can make up all or part of dark matter. They can
also account for some of the observed gravitational wave signals, can
provide seeds of supermassive black holes, and can contribute to
synthesis of heavy elements by disrupting neutron stars. I will
review the formation scenarios, astrophysical manifestations, and the
ongoing search for primordial black holes.
