Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions

Maciej Kierkla, Marek Lewicki, Philipp Schicho +2

Future interferometers may detect a gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a cosmological first-order phase transition. Reconstructing the underlying particle-physics model from such…

Theoretical consistency and phenomenology of supercooled cosmological phase transitions

Maciej Kierkla

This dissertation investigates a supercooled phase transition (PT) in the early Universe. Using high-temperature dimensional reduction (DR), we compute the NLO thermal bubble nucle…

Imprints of Reheating Dynamics on Gravitational Waves from Phase Transitions

Basabendu Barman, Maciej Kierkla, Marek Lewicki +1

We investigate how perturbative reheating after inflation modifies the primordial gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by cosmological phase transitions. Within a specific in…

Thermodynamical uncertainties for primordial black holes from cosmological phase transitions

Maciej Kierkla, Nicklas Ramberg, Philipp Schicho +1

Strongly supercooled first-order phase transitions have been proposed as a primordial black hole (PBH) production mechanism. While previous works rely on simplified models with lim…

Finite-temperature bubble nucleation with shifting scale hierarchies

Maciej Kierkla, Philipp Schicho, Bogumila Swiezewska +2

Focusing on supercooled phase transitions in models with classical scale symmetry, we formulate a state-of-the art framework for computing the bubble-nucleation rate, accounting fo…

Gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions: dimensional transmutation meets dimensional reduction

Maciej Kierkla, Bogumila Swiezewska, Tuomas V. I. Tenkanen +1

Models with radiative symmetry breaking typically feature strongly supercooled first-order phase transitions, which result in an observable stochastic gravitational wave background…

From Hubble to Bubble

Maciej Kierkla, Giorgio Laverda, Marek Lewicki +4

The detection of a stochastic Gravitational Wave (GW) background sourced by a cosmological phase transition would allow us to see the early Universe from a completely new perspecti…

Scale-Invariant Model for Gravitational Waves and Dark Matter

Alexandros Karam, Maciej Kierkla, Bogumiła Świeżewska

We have conducted a revised analysis of the first-order phase transition that is associated with symmetry breaking in a classically scale-invariant model that has been extended wit…

Conformal model for gravitational waves and dark matter: A status update

Maciej Kierkla, Alexandros Karam, Bogumila Swiezewska

We present an updated analysis of the first-order phase transition associated with symmetry breaking in the early Universe in a classically scale-invariant model extended with a ne…
