Primordial black holes from metric preheating: mass fraction in the excursion-set approach
Pierre Auclair, Vincent Vennin
We calculate the mass distribution of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) produced during metric preheating. After inflation, the oscillations of the inflaton at the bottom of its potent…

Irreducible cosmic production of relic vortons
Pierre Auclair, Patrick Peter, Christophe Ringeval +1
The existence of a scaling network of current-carrying cosmic strings in our Universe is expected to continuously create loops endowed with a conserved current during the cosmologi…

Impact of the small-scale structure on the Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves from cosmic strings
Pierre G. Auclair
Numerical simulations and analytical models suggest that infinite cosmic strings produce cosmic string loops of all sizes with a given power-law. Precise estimations of the power-l…
