Description
Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) could have been formed in the very early universe due to the collapse of large curvature fluctuations after inflation. PBHs are nowadays one of the most attractive and fascinating research areas in cosmology for their possible theoretical and observational implications. In this talk, I will review the physical process of PBH formation and I will give some new results regarding the formation of PBHs during the QCD phase transition.
