Gravitational ultra-relativistic freeze-out during general reheating

Mathieu Gross, Stephen E. Henrich, Fotis Koutroulis

We investigate ultrarelativistic freeze-out (UFO) in the context of generic reheating scenarios. While the standard WIMP dark matter paradigm has been extensively studied, UFO has…

UV-complete and stable Quintom Dark Energy models in the light of DESI DR2

Fotis Koutroulis

We propose that Quintom dark energy, the simplest framework allowing crossing of the cosmological-constant boundary, admits a natural UV completion in a 5D anisotropic orbifold lat…

Quark, lepton and right-handed neutrino production via inflation

Duarte Feiteira, Fotis Koutroulis, Oleg Lebedev +1

Inflationary expansion of space-time provides us with an efficient particle production mechanism in the Early Universe. The fermion production efficiency depends critically on the…

The thermal backreaction of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime

Nikos Irges, Antonis Kalogirou, Fotis Koutroulis

We argue that a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime should feel explicit thermal effects associated with its curvature. Starting from the Bunch-Davies vacuum and a scalar field wit…

Dark Branes for Dark Matter

Fotis Koutroulis, Eugenio Megias, Stefan Pokorski +1

We propose a setup for the origin of dark matter based on spacetime with a warped extra dimension and three branes: the Planck brane, the TeV brane, at a (few) TeV scale , an…

Machine Learning Classification of Sphalerons and Black Holes at the LHC

Aurora Singstad Grefsrud, Trygve Buanes, Fotis Koutroulis +6

In models with large extra dimensions, "miniature" black holes (BHs) might be produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the semi-class…
