Description
I review in this talk the mechanism of Primordial Black Hole (PBH) formation at the end of inflation from an oscillating scalar field. I will first present solutions to the Klein Gordon and Einstein equations in this regime for linear perturbations, as well as long-wavelength nonlinear solutions. I argue that these are indicators of the collapse of inhomogeneities onto PBHs. The tiny black holes produced in these models quickly evaporate and may produce Planck mass relics. I will show that these relics can be abundant enough to constitute all of dark matter, and present the constraints that this brings on the models of complex scalar field reheating.
