We study the merger rate of dark matter PIMBHs (Primordial Intermediate Mass Black Holes). We conclude that the black holes observed by LIGO in GW150914 and later events were probably not dark matter PIMBHs but rather the result of gravitational collapse of very massive stars. To study the PIMBHs by gravitational radiation will require a detector sensitive to frequencies below 10 Hz and otherwise more sensitive than LIGO. The LISA detector, expected to come online in 2034, will be useful at frequencies below 1 Hz but further gravitational wave detectors beyond LISA, sensitive up to 10 Hz, and higher strain sensitivity will be necessary to fully study dark matter.

Inflationary models with a superheavy scale F-term hybrid inflation followed by an intermediate scale modular inflation are considered. The restrictions on the power spectrum [Formula: see text] of curvature perturbation and the spectral index ns from the recent data within the power-law cosmological model with cold dark matter and a cosmological constant can be met provided that the number of e-foldings N HI * suffered by the pivot scale k* = 0.002/ Mpc during hybrid inflation is suitably restricted. The additional e-foldings needed for solving the horizon and flatness problems are generated by modular inflation with a string axion as inflaton. For central values of [Formula: see text] and ns, the grand unification scale comes out, in the case of standard hybrid inflation, close to its supersymmetric value M GUT ≃ 2.86 × 1016 GeV , the relevant coupling constant is relatively large (≈ 0.005 – 0.14), and 10 ≲ N HI * ≲ 21.7. In the shifted [smooth] hybrid inflation case, the grand unification scale can be identified with M GUT for N HI * ≃ 21 [N HI * ≃ 18].
