I will talk about the possibility that primordial black holes (PBHs) may constitute a significant fraction of the dark matter, focusing on the formation of PBHs from large inflationary fluctuations. 
If time permits, I will also discuss  how the spatial distribution of PBHs in the LIGO range affects their theoretical merger rate.
