Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 2848–2851 (1990)Cosmological production of black holesReceived 29 December 1989; published in the issue dated 11 June 1990 It is argued that, at a first-order phase transition, false-vacuum bubbles may occasionally collapse to become black holes. If the critical temperature Tc is less than a TeV, these black holes, which have a mass proportional to MPl2/Tc, could survive until today to be the dark matter. Alternatively, evaporation of black holes could give rise to relic particle abundances. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
