Dynamical evolution of the pressure on the bubble wall

Benoit Laurent, Miguel Vanvlasselaer

First-order phase transitions in the early Universe are pivotal for gravitational wave production, baryogenesis, and dark matter generation. A central question is whether bubble wa…

Spontaneous Baryogenesis from Axions on Induced Electroweak Walls

Miguel Vanvlasselaer, Wen Yin

We propose a baryogenesis mechanism in which an electroweak phase boundary is induced by a wall-like configuration of a scalar field, such as a domain wall or a shock wave, coupled…

Baryogenesis from Exploding Primordial Black Holes

Alexandra P. Klipfel, Miguel Vanvlasselaer, Sokratis Trifinopoulos +1

Exploding primordial black holes can source baryon asymmetry soon after the electroweak phase transition, as high-energy Hawking radiation drives ultrarelativistic shocks in the su…

Shocks from Exploding Primordial Black Holes in the Early Universe

Miguel Vanvlasselaer, Sokratis Trifinopoulos, Alexandra P. Klipfel +1

We investigate how Hawking radiation from low-mass primordial black holes deposits energy into the early-universe plasma and show that the resulting phenomena are hydrodynamic rath…

Domain walls in the scaling regime: Equal Time Correlator and Gravitational Waves

Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti, Aäron Rase +1

Domain walls are topological defects that may have formed in the early Universe through the spontaneous breakdown of discrete symmetries, and can be a strong source of gravitationa…
