Large primordial fluctuations in gravitational waves from phase transitions
It is well-known that first-order phase transitions in the early universe can be a powerful source of observable stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds.

In this work, we assess the sensitivity reach of pulsar timing array (PTA) measurements to probe pointlike primordial black holes (PBHs), with an extended mass distribution, which originate from collapsed Fermi balls that are formed through the ...

The supercooling window at weak and strong coupling
Supercooled first order phase transitions are typical of theories where conformal symmetry is predominantly spontaneously broken. In these theories the fate of the flat scalar direction is highly sensitive to the size and the scaling dimension of the ...

Phase Transitions in the Universe [PDF]
During the past two decades, cosmologists turned to particle physics in order to explore the physics of the very early Universe. The main link between the physics of the smallest and largest structures in the Universe is the idea of spontaneous symmetry ...

Topological Defects and Cosmology [PDF]
Many particle physics models of matter admit solutions corresponding to stable or long-lived topological defects. In the context of standard cosmology it is then unavoidable that such defects will form during phase transitions in the very early Universe.

Hawking evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) can facilitate the generation of matter-antimatter asymmetry. We focus on ultra-low mass PBHs that briefly dominate the universe and evaporate before the big bang nucleosynthesis.

Combining the Higgs searches at the LHC, we study the Higgs inflation in the type-I and type-II two-Higgs-doublet models with non-minimally couplings to gravity.

Axion inflation in the strong-backreaction regime: decay of the Anber-Sorbo solution
Axion inflation coupled to Abelian gauge fields via a Chern-Simons-like term of the form ϕF F ~ $$ \phi F\overset{\sim }{F} $$ represents an attractive inflationary model with a rich phenomenology, including the production of magnetic fields, black holes,

LHC and ILC Data and the Early Universe Properties [PDF]
With the start-up of the LHC, we can hope to find evidences for new physics beyond the Standard Model, and particle candidates for dark matter. Determining the parameters of the full underlying theory will be a long process requiring the combination of ...
