| contents | Ultralight primordial black holes (PBHs) provide a compelling window into early-Universe cosmology. Following our earlier work, we explore a mechanism for the formation of ultralight PBHs sourced by primordial inflationary magnetic fields, without invoking an ultra-slow-roll phase of inflation. We propose a magnetogenesis model in which large curvature perturbations are induced at small scales, leading to the efficient production of ultralight PBHs across a broad mass spectrum. We analyze the phenomenological implications of these ultralight PBHs for early-Universe cosmology, particularly during reheating. We compute the resulting stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background generated by both the electromagnetic spectrum and evaporating PBHs, which exhibits distinctive features tied to the underlying magnetogenesis model parameters. Our results demonstrate that inflationary magnetic fields can serve as a viable and testable origin for ultralight PBHs, opening new avenues for probing the interplay between inflation, magnetogenesis, PBHs, and primordial gravitational waves. |
