Among the many dark matter candidates proposed in the literature, primordial black holes  are interesting since they could account for the gravitational wave signals observed by  LIGO and VIRGO or seed the formation of supermassive black holes. The existence of these objects could be a natural consequence of inflation or be associated to long-range attractive forces stronger than gravity.
