If black holes are instead regular, their temperature and the way emitted particles escape (greybody factors) change, which alters their predicted gamma-ray output. Weaker limits would leave more room for primordial black holes to account for dark matter, linking the dark matter problem with the singularity problem.","findings":["Constraints on the dark matter fraction in primordial black holes weaken relative to the Schwarzschild limits for all three regular metrics.","The weakening comes from modified black hole temperature and greybody factors.","The lower edge of the asteroid mass window moves down by potentially an order of magnitude or more, widening the parameter space where primordial black holes could make up all the dark matter."],"terms":[{"term":"f_pbh","means":"The fraction of the universe's dark matter that is in the form of primordial black holes."},{"term":"Schwarzschild limits","means":"The constraints obtained when black holes are described by the standard Schwarzschild metric, a non-rotating black hole solution with a central singularity."},{"term":"greybody factors","means":"Energy-dependent factors describing how likely radiation emitted near a black hole is to escape to a distant observer rather than fall back in."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-25T10:31:02.839Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-25T10:31:02.839Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
