contents We investigate the effects on sub-TeV resonant leptogenesis of Primordial Black Holes with masses from $10^6$ to $\sim 10^9$ g. The latter might dominate the energy content of the Universe altering its evolution and, eventually, diluting the final baryon asymmetry. We find that, depending on the mass and abundance of Primordial Black Holes, the parameter space of sub-TeV resonant leptogenesis shrinks towards higher Right-Handed Neutrino masses and smaller active-sterile mixing. Remarkably, this translates into important implications for the experimental searches of heavy neutral leptons. Conversely, we demonstrate that a possible future detection of sub-TeV heavy neutral leptons would disfavour regions of the parameter space of Primordial Black Holes currently allowed.
