Théorie

The dawn of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has enabled new probes of dark matter. In particular, the formation and abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) can be probed through GWs. In this talk I will discuss different ways how GW observations can be used to probe PBHs and I will review the implications of LIGO-Virgo observations on PBHs.
