Simulation of PBH formation in a matter-dominated universe

Chul-Moon Yoo, Albert Escrivà, Tomohiro Harada +1

We investigate primordial black hole (PBH) formation during an early matter-dominated era using fully nonlinear numerical relativity. The initial condition is set by a functional f…

Primordial Asymmetries, Primordial Equation of State & Primordial Black Holes

Maël Gonin, Julien Froustey, Albert Escrivà +3

We study the thermal history of the primordial Universe in the presence of non-zero lepton and baryon asymmetries. Considering different scenarios, we determine the equation of sta…

COSMOS: A numerical relativity code specialized for PBH formation

Chul-Moon Yoo, Hirotada Okawa, Albert Escrivà +7

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes generated in the early universe without having gone through stellar evolution. In the standard formation process, PBHs are formed from…

Primordial black hole formation from a type II perturbation in the absence and presence of pressure

Koichiro Uehara, Albert Escrivà, Tomohiro Harada +2

We investigate primordial black holes (PBHs) formed from extremely large amplitudes of primordial curvature fluctuations, classified as type II. Type II fluctuations differ from ty…

Non-spherical effects on the mass function of Primordial Black Holes

Albert Escrivà, Chul-Moon Yoo

In this letter, we investigate the impact of non-spherical effects on the Primordial Black Hole mass function, based on the ellipticity-dependent threshold calculated by performing…

The LISA forecast on a smooth crossover beyond the Standard Model through the scalar-induced gravitational waves

Albert Escrivà, Ryoto Inui, Yuichiro Tada +1

Supposing the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave (GW) detector, we exhibit the detectability of a hypothetical smooth crossover in the early universe beyo…

Were you born in an aborted primordial black hole?

Emilie Despontin, Sebastien Clesse, Albert Escrivà +1

We propose a mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis based on the Standard Model and explaining the coincidence between the baryon and Dark Matter (DM) densities. Large curvature flu…

Primordial Black Hole formation from overlapping cosmological fluctuations

Albert Escrivà, Chul-Moon Yoo

We consider the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs), during the radiation-dominated Universe, generated from the collapse of super-horizon curvature fluctuations that are ov…

Formation of trapped vacuum bubbles during inflation, and consequences for PBH scenarios

Albert Escrivà, Vicente Atal, Jaume Garriga

A class of inflationary scenarios for primordial black hole (PBH) formation include a small barrier in the slope of the potential. There, the inflaton slows down, generating an enh…

Primordial Black Holes

Albert Escrivà, Florian Kuhnel, Yuichiro Tada

Aspects of primordial black holes, i.e. black holes formed in the early Universe, are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on their formation, their role as dark matter candidates and…

Static properties of two linearly coupled discrete circuits

Albert Escrivà, Andrea Richaud, Bruno Juliá-Díaz +1

Bosonic two-ring ladders constitute an important class of atomtronic circuits, where coherent current flows not only can offer a new insight into many-body physics, but also can pl…
