Black Hole Memory Burden and its Signatures in Gravitational Waves from Mergers

Gia Dvali, Michael Zantedeschi, Sebastian Zell

Swift memory burden (MB) implies that the information stored in a black hole (BH) can modify its classical dynamics when the BH is perturbed. This influences the gravitational wave…

Cosmological Implications of the Slingshot Effect: Gravitational Waves, Primordial Black Holes and Dark Matter

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez +1

In this paper, we explore the implications of the so-called slingshot effect. It represents a rather general phenomenon occurring when a localized source, such as a monopole, quark…

On the predictivity of axion dark matter in the presence of Peccei-Quinn breaking

Michael Zantedeschi

It is shown that the post-inflationary quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion need not lead to a unique one-parameter prediction for the dark matter abundance whenever small explicit P…

The fast, the slow and the merging: probes of evaporating memory burdened PBHs

Alessandro Dondarini, Giulio Marino, Paolo Panci +1

The so-called memory-burden effect implies that evaporating Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) inevitably stabilize before complete decay. This stabilization opens a new mass window for…

A minimal Pati-Salam theory: from cosmic defects to gravitational waves and colliders

Goran Senjanović, Michael Zantedeschi

We discuss a minimal renormalizable Pati-Salam theory based on the gauge group, with unification scale Higgs multiplet…

Transitioning to Memory Burden: Detectable Small Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter

Gia Dvali, Michael Zantedeschi, Sebastian Zell

Mounting theoretical evidence suggests that black holes are subjected to the memory burden effect, implying that after certain time the information stored in them suppresses the de…

theory on the plateau: the importance of being renormalizable

Anca Preda, Goran Senjanović, Michael Zantedeschi

We revisit a minimal renormalisable grand unified theory, with the Higgs representation , and complex , responsible for the unificati…

Implications of Photon Mass: Vortextrap Magnetization of Black Holes

Gia Dvali, Zaza N. Osmanov, Michael Zantedeschi

We discuss certain astrophysical implications of the photon mass. It offers a new mechanism of black hole magnetization, described as ``vortextrap magnetization" (VTM), which can g…

Minimal SO(10) ante portas: the importance of being effective

Anca Preda, Goran Senjanović, Michael Zantedeschi

The minimal grand unified theory, augmented by higher-dimensional operators, is based on the following Higgs representations: adjoint , spinor and…

Ultralight Black Holes as Sources of High-Energy Particles

Michael Zantedeschi, Luca Visinelli

The \textit{memory burden} effect, the idea that the amount of information stored within a system contributes to its stabilization, is particularly relevant for systems with a larg…

Do neutrinos bend? Consequences of an ultralight gauge field as dark matter

Luca Visinelli, Tsutomu T. Yanagida, Michael Zantedeschi

An ultralight gauge boson could address the missing cosmic dark matter, with its transverse modes contributing to a relevant component of the galactic halo today. We show that, in…

Memory Burden Effect in Black Holes and Solitons: Implications for PBH

Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez, Michael Zantedeschi

The essence of the \textit{memory burden} effect is that a load of information carried by a system stabilizes it. This universal effect is especially prominent in systems with a hi…

Cavity Detection of Gravitational Waves: Where Do We Stand?

Claudio Gatti, Luca Visinelli, Michael Zantedeschi

High frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) are predicted in various exotic scenarios involving both cosmological and astrophysical sources. These elusive signals have recently spar…

Minimal SU(5) theory on the edge: the importance of being effective

Goran Senjanović, Michael Zantedeschi

It is well known that the minimal renormalizable grand unified theory is ruled out: it predicts same masses of down quarks and charged leptons, the gauge couplings do not u…

Perturbative Construction of Coherent States

Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Michael Zantedeschi

The perturbative consistency of coherent states within interacting quantum field theory requires them to be altered beyond the simple non-squeezed form. Building on this point, we…

Vortex Effects in Merging Black Holes and Saturons

Gia Dvali, Oleg Kaikov, Florian Kuhnel +2

Vorticity has recently been suggested to be a property of highly-spinning black holes. The connection between vorticity and limiting spin represents a universal feature shared by o…

Confinement Slingshot and Gravitational Waves

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Juan Sebastián Valbuena-Bermúdez +1

In this paper, we introduce and numerically simulate a quantum field theoretic phenomenon called the gauge ``slingshot" effect and study its production of gravitational waves. The…

Vortices in Black Holes
