Abstract:

We consider the production of primordial micro black holes (MBH) remnants in the early Universe. These objects induce the Universe to be in a matter-dominated era before the onset of inflation. Effects of such an epoch on the CMB power spectrum are discussed and computed both analytically and numerically. By comparison with observational data from the WMAP collaboration, we find that our model could give insights on the quadrupole anomaly of the CMB power spectrum.
