We examine the formation and evolution of primordial black holes (PBH's) after hybrid inflation. Our goal is to assess the effects of various theoretical uncertainties on the extrapolation from a given inflation model to a spectrum of primordial black hole masses. The context of our work is an examination of the possibility [Chen and Adler (2003), MacGibbon (1987)] that the dark matter is comprised of Planck-mass black hole remnants (BHR's). As an example we focus on a particular scenario [Chen (2003)] in which the black holes form from quantum perturbations that were generated during hybrid inflation. We find the correspondence between hybrid inflation parameters and the range of initial PBH masses that would allow BHR's to comprise the dark matter, taking account of the possible early presence of radiation and its accretion onto the PBH's.
