Mergers of primordial black holes in extreme clusters and the $H_0$ tension.
2021
We consider a cosmological model with dark matter in the form of $\sim10^{-12}M_\odot$ primordial black holes in dense weakly relativistic clusters with masses $18-560M_\odot$. It is shown that during the multiple collisions of the black holes the $\sim10$\% of the initial cluster mass can be transformed into gravitational waves in the time interval from recombination to the redshifts $z\geq 10$. At the recombination epoch, the density of matter was larger by $\sim10$\% and, accordingly, the universe expansion rate was higher. This leads to a shortening of the sound horizon scale, as is necessary to solve the "$H_0$ tension" problem.
