摘要

Throughout the cosmic history, primordial black holes may experience an efficient phase of baryonic mass accretion from the surrounding medium. While the realm of accretion physics is marked by numerous uncertainties, and a comprehensive understanding remains elusive, recent investigations have delved into this area, exploring its implications for the cosmological evolution of these compact objects. Notably, primordial black holes could experience characteristic growths of their masses and spins, accompanied by the emission of radiation, ultimately responsible for feedback effects that could weaken the efficiency of the process. In this chapter we review the basic formalism to describe the accretion rate, luminosity function and feedback effects, in order to provide distinctive predictions for the evolution of the primordial black hole mass and spin parameters.
