Description
In this talk we will review the mechanism of black hole
production due to a potential quantum mechanical
instability of the
deSitter Universe. After recalling the basic formalism in
terms of the
instanton approach, we will present the foundational
results in the field
as well some of the latest developments based on non-
singular black hole
metrics. Possible connections with current astronomical
observations will
be also discussed.
