Primordial Black Hole Formation in a Double Inflation Model in Supergravity
Abstract
It has been recently pointed out that the initial value problem in new inflation models is naturally solved by supergravity effects if there exists a pre-inflation before the new inflation. We study this double inflation model in details and find that density fluctuations on small cosmological scales are much larger than those on large scales due to peculiar property of the new inflation. We show that this results in production of primordial black holes which have 1 M masses in a certain parameter region of the double inflation model. We stress that these black holes may be identified with MACHOs observed in the halo of our galaxy.
