Primordial black holes from Higgs vacuum instability: avoiding fine-tuning through an ultraviolet safe mechanism
Abstract We have recently proposed the idea that dark matter in our universe is formed by primordial black holes generated by Standard Model Higgs fluctuations during inflation and thanks to the fact that the Standard Model Higgs potential develops an instability at a scale of the order of $$10^{11}...
