Description

Non-topological solitons can generate sizable Poisson density fluctuations, which grow during an early matter-dominated era and lead to primordial black hole (PBH) formation. Previous studies of this scenario assumed a monochromatic soliton mass distribution and did not fully address PBH formation from perturbations generated inside the horizon. In this work, we develop a general framework for evaluating density perturbations from a soliton mass distribution and clarify the collapse condition for sub-horizon perturbations during an early matter-dominated era. Applying the formalism to gauge-mediated Q-balls with a lattice-simulated charge distribution, we show that PBHs can constitute all dark matter.
