The black hole binary properties inferred from the LIGO gravitational wave signal GW150914 posed several serious problems. The high masses and low effective spin of black hole binary can be explained if they are primordial (PBH) rather than the products of the stellar binary evolution. Such PBH properties are postulated ad hoc but not derived from fundamental theory. We show that the necessary features of PBHs naturally follow from the slightly modified Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism of…

The abundance of PBHs required to explain the suggested lower bound on the event rate roughly coincides with the existing upper limit set by the nondetection of the cosmic microwave background spectral distortion, which implies that the proposed PBH scenario may be tested in the not-too-distant future.
