Key Details

Quantum memory burden effect can greatly extend PBH lifetimes

Lighter PBHs could be sole dark matter source with this effect

Also calculate dark matter abundance from PBH particle decay

Wide parameter space fits dark matter abundance with burden effect

Burden effect strength alters constraints on PBH and particle masses

AI generated summary

Quantum effects extend primordial black hole lifetimes as dark matter candidates

This paper explores how quantum effects like the 'memory burden' could significantly extend the lifetimes of primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly allowing lighter PBHs to comprise all dark matter. The authors calculate dark matter abundance from both extended-lifetime PBHs and their Hawking radiation decay products.
