1. Introduction
In this paper the inclusion of the quantum-gravitational corrections (
qgcs) for primordial black holes (
pbhs) in the early Universe during the preinflationary era is studied. In [
1] a semiclassical approximation was used to study the problem of scalar perturbations due to such
pbhs. But, considering that all the processes in this case are proceeding at very high energies
E close to the Planckian
, the inclusion of
qgcs for these black holes in this pattern is necessary. The paper presents an explicit solution of this problem; specifically, it is shown how in this pattern the inclusion of
qgcs changes (”shifts”) the basic inflationary parameters.
The explicit and effective formulae for these ”shifts” have been derived in
Section 3.
Section 2 presents the instruments used to obtain the principal results. In
Section 4 it is demonstrated that inclusion of
qgcs increases the occurrence probability for such (
pbhs). In
Section 5 the high-energy deformations of Friedmann Equations on the basis of these
qgcs are derived for different cases.
Finally in
Section 6 (Conclusion) the general remarks are given for calculations of the indicated
qgcs in the case of perturbations on inflation; the steps for investigation of the cosmological parameters corrections and cosmological perturbations due to these
qgcs are enumerated; the problems of further studies are formulated.
In what follows the normalization is used, for which we have .
As is known, the most common formation mechanism of primordial black holes (
pbhs) in the early Universe [
2,
3,
4], is a gravitational collapse of the high-density matter [
5]. In several works it has been shown that (
pbhs) in the early Universe may be responsible for its shifted cosmological parameters. We know a sufficiently accurate estimate of the mass
pbh formed in the period of time
t since the Big Bang [
6,
7,
8]
As seen, for small times close to the Planckian time
s, the mass of
pbhs is close to the Planck mass
, necessitating in this case the inclusion of the quantum-gravitational corrections
qgcs. Though in the majority of works
pbhs in the early Universe are studied by a semiclassical approach. To illustrate, in [
1] the scalar cosmological perturbations associated with small-radius
pbhs in the pre-inflationary era are studied precisely in the semiclassical approximation. This paper is devoted to inclusion of
qgcs in such cases.
Despite the fact that presently there is no self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, a consensus is reached on correctness of some approaches to the theory, specifically, replacement of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) by the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) on going to high (Plancks)energies, used in this paper.
2. PBH with the Schwarzschild-de Sitter Metric in the Early Universe
It should be noted that Schwarzschild black holes in real physics (cosmology, astrophysics) are idealized objects. As noted in (p.324, [
10]): ”Spherically symmetric accretion onto a Schwarzschild black hole is probably only of academic interest as a testing for theoretical ideas. It is of little relevance for interpretations of the observations data. More realistic is the situation where a black hole moves with respect to the interstellar gas...”
Nevertheless, black holes just of this type may arise and may be realistic in the early Universe. In this case they are primordial black holes (
pbhs). Most common mechanism for the formation of
pbhs is the high-density gravitation matter collapse generated by cosmological perturbations arising, e.g., in the process of inflation (not necessarily) in the early Universe [
5]. But the idea about the formation of
pbhs has been suggested much earlier than the first inflation models, specifically in [
2] and independently in [
3] or [
4].
During studies of the early Universe the Schwarzschild metric [
10,
11]
for
pbhs is replaced by the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) metric [
1] that is associated with Schwarzschild black holes with small mass
M in the early Universe, in particular in pre-inflation epoch
where
,
M - black hole mass,
– cosmological constant, and
is the Hubble radius.
In general, such a black hole may have two different horizons corresponding to two different zeros
: event horizon of a black hole and cosmological horizon. This is just so in the case under study when a value of
M is small [
12,
13]. In the general case of
, for the event horizon radius of a black hole having the metric (
3),
takes the following form (formula (9) in [
14]):
Then, due to the assumption concerning the initial smallness of
, we have
. In this case, to a high accuracy, the condition
is fulfilled, i.e. for the considered (SdS) BH we can use the formulae, given in the previous section for a Schwarzschild BH, to a great accuracy.
Remark 2.1.
Note that, because Λ is very small, the condition and hence the formula of (4) are obviously valid not only for black hole with the mass but also for a much greater range of masses, i.e. for black holes with the mass , taking into account the condition . In fact we obtain ordinary Schwarzschild black holes (2) with small radius.
Specifically, for the energies on the order of Plank energies (quantum gravity scales)
, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (
HUP) [
15]
may be replaced by the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (
GUP) [
16]
Then there is a possibility for existence of Planck Schwarzschild black hole, and accordingly of a Schwarzschild sphere (further referred to as ”minimal”) with the minimal mass
and the minimal radius
(formula (20) in [
16]) that is a theoretical minimal length
:
where
- model-dependent parameters on the order of 1,
e - base of natural logarithms, and
.
In this case, due to GUP (
6), the physics becomes nonlocal and the position of any point is determined accurate to
. It is impossible to ignore this nonlocality at the energies close to the Planck energy
, i.e. at the scales
(equivalently we have
).
Actually, [
16] presents calculated values of the mass
and the radius
for Schwarzschild BH with regard to the quantum-gravitational corrections within the scope of GUP (
6).
With the use of the normalization
adopted in [
16], temperature of a Schwarzschild black hole having the mass
(the radius
) [
10] in a semi-classical approximation takes the form
Within the scope of GUP (
6),the temperature
with regard to (
qgc) is of the form ((23) in [
16]))
where
is the black hole horizon area of the given black hole,
is the black hole horizon area of a minimal quantum black hole from formula (
7) and
– value at the corresponding point of the Lambert W-function
satisfying the equation (formulae (1.5) in [
17] and (9) in [
16])
is the multifunction for complex variable
. However, for real
,
is the single-valued continuous function having two branches denoted by
and
, and for real
there is only one branch
[
17].
Obviously, the quantum-gravitational correction
qgc (
9) presents a
deformation (or more exactly, the
quantum deformation of a classical black-holes theory from the viewpoint of the paper [
18] with the deformation parameter
):
where
is the horizon radius of minimal
pbh from formula (
7) and
is the horizon radius of the given black hole with the black hole horizon area
A.
It should be noted that this deformation parameter
has been introduced by the author in his earlier works [
19,
20,
21,
22], where he studied deformation of quantum mechanics at Planck scales in terms of the deformed quantum mechanical density matrix. In the Schwarzschild black hole case
– product of the minimal surface area
by the Gaussian curvature
of the black-hole horizon surface [
23] as indicated in [
24,
25].
It is clear that, for a great black hole having large mass
and great event horizon area
, the deformation parameter
is vanishingly small and close to zero. Then a value of
Is also close to
. As seen,
is an obvious solution for the equation (
10). We have
So, a black hole with great mass
necessitates no consideration of
qgcs.
But in the case of small black holes we have
In formulae above it is assumed that
, i.e. the black hole under study is not minimal (
7).
We can rewrite the formula of (
9) as follows:
where
and
are respectively the initial black-hole mass and event horizon radius considering
qgcs caused by GUP (
6).
Remark 2.2
It is clear that the formula (
15) with the substitution of
is of the same form as formula (
8), in fact representing (
9),i.e. in the formula for temperature of a black hole the inclusion of
qgcs may be realized in two ways with the same result: (a)the initial mass
remains unaltered and
qgcs are involved only in the formula for temperature, in this case (
9); (b)
qgcs are involved in the mass the above-mentioned substitution takes place
(formula(
15)). Such ”duality” is absolutely right in this case if a black hole is considered in the stationary state in the absence of accretion and radiation processes. Just this case is also studied in the paper.
A recent preprint [
26] in the case (b) for the space-time dimension
, using approaches to quantum gravity of the alternative GUP, gives a formula for the mass
of a black hole with a due regard to
qgc
Here in terms of [
26]

M,

D, and

26], the case when

qgc as predicted by a string theory.
3. Inflation Parameters Shifts Generated by QGC
To this end in cosmology, in particular inflationary, the metric (

3).
Remark 3.1.
In [
1] in general only the case
is considered and, as noted in [
1],we can exclude only the pattern with regard for radiation processes of
pbh. Let us consider a much more general case: it is supposed that, as the mass
M of
pbh may be changed due to absorption and radiation processes, the corresponding change takes place for
– in the general case we have (
) but
is unaltered with regard to
qgcs, i.e. in formula (
19) we have
, where
- values of
, respectively, with due regard for
qgcs.
Let us consider several scenarios.
3.1. The Stationary Picture
From the start the primordial black hole with the mass M and the
event horizon area A is considered in the absence of absorption
and radiation processes.
As and pbh is considered in the stationary state, then due to
Remark 2.2 with regard for
qgcs, replacement
in this formula leads to replacement of
, due to
Remark 3.1. meeting the condition
Here
from the general formula (
15).
Based on the last formula and formulae (
9),(
12),(
15), for
it directly follows that
Because the potential energy of inflation
is related to the initial Hubble parameter
by the Friedmann equation
,from (
21) we can derive a shift for
that is due to quantum-gravitational corrections for the primordial Schwarzschild black hole with the mass
M as follows:
where
–effective cosmological constant and
is the same constant with regard to the above-mentioned
qgcs. Here we have used the normalization differing from that used in [
27],where
.
In a similar way we can find
qgcs for all the remaining inflationary parameters, specifically for the scale factor
(
18)
for the Hubble parameter
as well as for the parameters in the mode of slow roll, e.g., for
[
27]:
where, as usual, a prime in the next to last formula means differentiation with respect to
, while a point in the last formula means differentiation with respect to
t.
The condition
for slow roll in the inflationary scenario [
27] due to (
24) is transformed to the condition
from the last formula that should be additionally established for estimation of the boundary
.
3.2. The Case of ”Minimal” Particle Absorption by a Black Hole
Let
M be the initial mass of a black hole with the event horizon area
A. In [
28,
29] a minimal increment of the event horizon area for the black hole absorbing a particle with the energy
E and with the size
R:
has been estimated. In quantum consideration we have
and
.
However, in [
28,
29] the consideration is based on a semiclassical pattern, i.e. for small
, when GUP (
6) goes to the well-known Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
HUP
which, on equality of the left and the right sides of the last formula, gives
.
Such absorption leads to the increased mass of a black hole
and hence to its increased event horizon area
A and radius
:
It should be emphasized that the last formula of the pattern
3.2 has been obtained only for a semiclassical approximation [
28,
29],i.e. at low energies
. The boundaries of its correctness at high energies
are questionable.
Using the result from [
28,
29] in [
16], an explicit expression has been obtained for
qgcs at the energies
, represented in terms of
, to the event horizon area of any Schwarzschild black hole, provided GUP is valid (
6), as follows: (formula (27) in [
16]):
where
A – event horizon area of the given Schwarzschild black hole.
Using the last formula for (
26), we can derive its ”quantum” analog
Here
.
Remark 3.2 It should be noted that in the presented ”minimal” variant of the absorption process the cardinal difference of a semiclassical consideration from consideration with due regard forqgcs resides in the fact that in the first case changes in all of the parameters of a black hole (its mass, event horizon area, radius, etc.) are independent of its sizes, whereas in the second case they are dependent on its sizes.
Next it is assumed that the above-mentioned absorption of a particle by a black hole with the mass
M takes place before the beginning of inflation, and by the beginning of inflation the mass and the radius of this black hole in a semiclassical pattern are given by
and
from the formula (
26):
And consequently, with due regard for
qgcs, they are given by
form the formula (
28):
Then, according to
Remark 3.1, by the substitution at
in the formula (
20) for
we obtain a shift of the inflatrionary parameters with regard to
qgcs in the minimal absorption process. In particular, due to formulae (
20) and (
12), for
we have
By the substitution of
from the last formula into (
22),(
23),(
24),... , we can find in the pattern of
3.2 ”quantum” shifts for all the inflationary parameters, specifically for
As seen from the foregoing formulae and from (
13), for massive black holes with a large area of event horizon
, we have
that is not surprising. But when considering small black holes in this pattern this quantity may be significant and should not be ignored.
Remark 3.3 It is obvious that, for massive black holes,”minimal” absorption considered in point3.2 is not a real physical process because a mass of the absorbed matter for them is always sufficiently great. At the same time, for smallpbhs in the preinflationary period this process is quite real. Besides, in this case any absorption, in principle, may be represented as a chain of ”minimal” absorptions (may be ”expended into minimal absorptions”).
3.3. Black Hole Evaporation and qgcs
Also, black holes are associated with the process of Hawking radiation (evaporation). The primordial black holes are no exception. In the general case this process is considered only within the scope of a semiclassical approximation (without consideration of the quantum-gravitational effects). Because of this, it is assumed that a primordial black hole may be completely evaporated [
10].
Still, in this pattern the situation is impossible due to the validity of GUP (
6) and due to the formation of a minimal (nonvanishing) Planckian remnant as a result of evaporation (
7) [
30].
We can compare the mass loss for a black hole in this process when using a semiclassical approximation and with due regard for qgcs.
Let
M be the mass of a primordial black hole. Then a loss of mass as a result of evaporation, according to the general formulae, takes the following form ([
10],p.356):
where
- temperature of a black hole with the mass
M,
- surface area of the event horizon of this hole
, and
is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
Using this formula for the same black hole but with regard to
qgcs, we can get the mass loss
in this case
where
- temperature of a black hole with the same mass
M, when taking into consideration
qgcs (
9).
For all the foregoing formulae associated with a random black hole having the mass
, the following estimate is correct ((10.1.19) in [
10]):
where
, and
N is the number of the states and species of particles that are radiated. The minus sign in the left part of the last formula denotes that the mass of a black hole diminishes as a result of evaporation, i.e. we have
.
Unfortunately, the last formula is hardly constructive as it is difficult to estimate the number N, especially at high energies .
Nevertheless, using the terminology and symbols of this paper, and also the results from [
16], the formula (
35) for the mass loss by a black hole with regard to
qgcs may be written in a more precise and constructive form. If we take
(
35), then, according to formula (45) in [
16], within the scope of GUP (
6) we will have
where
.
The minus sign in the right side of the last formula means the same as the minus sign in the left side of formula (
35).
Due to (
12), formula (
36) is of the following form:
We can expand the right sides of formulae (
36) and (
37) into a series in terms of the small parameter
(formula (46) in [
16]) that, proceeding from the deformation parameter
, takes the form
Neglecting the last equation due to the time interval chosen, e.g., due to
,where
–time of the inflation onset and
– time during which the black hole under study has been formed, formula (
1), the mass loss for a black hole with regard to
qgcs by the inflation onset time may be given as
With the use of formulae
, the last formula may be written as
Since, according to the chosen normalization,
, the last expression may take the form
Next, we can determine the mass of a black hole after its evaporation until the inflation onset with regard to
qgcs
In the pattern of a semiclassical approximation the above-mentioned formulae are greatly simplified because in this case
due to the absence of a minimal black hole.
Then in a semiclassical pattern formula (
42), with the use of the suggested formalism, takes the following form:
where
Accordingly, for the radii
we can get
In accordance with
Remark 3.3, we have
The right side of the last line in formula (
46) gives the
”quantum-gravitational shifts” (abbreviated as
qgs) of the de Sitter Hubble parameter
for black holes evaporation process.
Substituting
from (
46) into formulae (
22)–(
24) and so on, we can obtain
qgsc for all cosmological parameters in the inflationary scenario when a primordial black hole evaporates before the inflation onset.
4. Quantum-Gravity Corrections for Appearance Probabilities PBHs in the Pre-Inflationary Era
For
pbh with Schwarzschild-de Sitter
SdS metric (
3) in the pre-inflation epoch The problem of estimating the probability of occurrence of these
pbh.
This problem has been studied in [
1] without due regard for
qgc. Let us demonstrate that consideration of
qgc in this case makes the probability of arising
pbh higher.
Similar to [
1], it is assumed that in pre-inflation period non-relativistic particles with the mass
are dominant (
Section 3 in [
1]). For convenience, let us denote the Schwarzschild radius
by
.
When denoting, in analogy with [
1], by
the number of particles in a
comoving ball with the physical radius
and the volume
at time
t, in the case under study this number (formula (3.9) in [
1]) will have
qgc
Here the first part of the last formula agrees with formula (3.9) in [
1], whereas
in this case are in agreement with
. And from (
21) it follows that
According to (
15), it is necessary to replace the Schwarzschild radius
by
.
Then from the general formula
, used because of the replacement of
, we obtain an analog of (3.12) from [
1]
In the last formula in square brackets we should have
instead of
but, as we consider the case
, these quantities are coincident.
It should be noted that here the following condition is used:
i.e. Schwarzschild radius
less than Hubble radius,
.
As we have
, then
Considering that for the formation of a Schwarzschild black hole with the radius
it is required that, due to statistical fluctuations, the number of particles
with the mass
m within the black hole volume
be in agreement with the condition [
1]
which, according to
qgs in the formula of (
15), may be replaced by
As follows from these expressions, with regard to
qgc for the formation of
pbh in the pre-inflation period, the number of the corresponding particles may be lower than for a black hole without such regard, leading to a higher probability of the formation.
Such a conclusion may be made by comparison of this probability in a semi-classical consideration (formula (3.13) in [
1])
and with due regard for
qgc
Considering that in the last two integrals the integrands take positive values and are the same, whereas the integration domain in the second integral is wider due to (
51), we have
As follows from the last three formulae, in the case under study the probability that the above-mentioned
pbh will be formed is higher with due regard for
qgc.
It is interesting to find which changes should be expected in the pattern studied if the parameter
ceases to be constant and is shifted with regard to
qgc of the black hole mass
(
15):
.
Note that in this case the general formula form
Section 3 in [
1] are also valid but for this pattern in formula (
49) there is substitution of
:
To understand variations in the probability of
pbh arising as compared to the case when
qgc are neglected in the consideration, we compare the last expression with the corresponding quantity
.
Dividing the last expression and the right side (
57) by the same positive number
and subtracting the second number from the first, we can obtain
with a positive proportionality factor.
To have a positive quantity in the right side (
58), fulfillment of the following inequality is required:
As from formula (
10) it follows that
for
, we have
, from where it follows that (
59) is equivalent to the inequality
or
We need that in the case under study
the probability of
pbh arising with regard to
qgc be higher than the same probability but without due regard for
qgc. It is sufficient to replace the condition
in formula (
50) by the condition in formula (
61).
Note that, due to smallness of
,
are also small and in the right side (
61) the quantity is close to 1, i.e. the shorter the Schwarzschild radius of
pbh,the greater consideration of
qgc increases the probability of
pbh arising.
5. High Energy Deformations of Friedmann Equations
Based on the obtained results, it is inferred that there is the deformation (having a quantum-gravitational character) of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric and Friedmann Equations due to
qgsc. Indeed, for example, for
3.1. (
the stationary pattern) from formulae (
15),(
19),(
18) we can derive
Substituting the expression
from the last formula for
a into the Friedmann Equation ((2.4) in [
27])
we can obtain the Quantum Deformation (
QD) [
18] of the Friedmann Equation due to
qgcs for
pbh in the early Universe
or
The last line in (
65) is associated with the fact that the Lambert W-function
is negative for
.
Similarly,
-components of the Einstein equations ((2.5) in [
27])
within the foregoing (
QD) are replaced by
or
It should be noted that the equation of the covariant energy conservation for the homogeneous background ((2.6) in [
27])
remains unaltered with replacement of
.
So, in the pattern of 3.1 (the stationary pattern), taking into consideration of qgcs for pbhs in the pre-inflationary era increases the initial values of the density and of the pressure p in Friedmann equations.
The above calculations are correct if, from the start, we assume that a black hole (i.e., its event-horizon radius) is invariable until the onset of inflation. But such a situation is idealized because this period is usually associated with the radiation and absorption processes
Then again for
from formulae (
19),(
18) we have
Substituting the expression
from formula (
70) in all formulae (
64)–(
69) we obtain analogues of these formulae in the general case. In particular, for formula (
64) we have
Or, equivalently,
In the same way as for formula (
67), in this pattern for the general quantum deformation
-components of Einstein equations by substitution of the value for
from the formula (
70) we obtain
or
It is clear that, in this most general pattern, the covariant energy conservation for the homogeneous background ((2.6) in [
27])
remains unaltered with replacement of
.
