| contents | We consider the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs), during the radiation-dominated Universe, generated from the collapse of super-horizon curvature fluctuations that are overlapped with others on larger scales. Using a set of different curvature profiles, we show that the threshold for PBH formation (defined as the critical peak of the compaction function) can be decreased by several percentages, thanks to the overlapping between two peaks in the profile of the compaction function. In the opposite case, when the fluctuations are sufficiently decoupled the threshold values behave as having the fluctuations isolated (isolated peaks). We find that the analytical estimates of arXiv:1907.13311 can be used accurately when applied to the corresponding peak that is leading to the gravitational collapse. We also study in detail the dynamics and estimate the final PBH mass for different initial configurations, showing that the profile dependence has a significant effect on that. |
