Constraints on primordial black holes from LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O3 events

Primordial black holes (PBHs) can efficiently form black hole binaries in the early Universe. We update the resulting constraints on PBH abundance using data from the third observational run of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. To capture a wide range of PBH scenarios, we consider a variety of mass functions, including critical collapse in the QCD epoch and primordial non-Gaussianities. Applying hierarchical Bayesian analysis to a population of binaries consisting of primordial and astrophysical black holes, we find that, in every scenario, the PBHs can make up at most $f_{\mathrm{PBH}}\lesssim {10}^{-3}$ of dark matter in the mass range $1-200M_{\odot }$. The shape and strength of the constraints are not significantly affected by the type of non-Gaussianities, the modifications to the mass function during the QCD epoch, or the modeling of the astrophysical PBH population.
