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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
