Primordial black holes as a dark matter candidate in theories with supersymmetry and inflation
Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko
We show that supersymmetry and inflation, in a broad class of models, generically lead to formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) that can account for dark matter. Supersymmetry…
Possible evidence of QCD axion stars in HSC and OGLE microlensing events
Sunao Sugiyama, Masahiro Takada, Alexander Kusenko
Dark matter in the form of axions is expected to form miniclusters, and their dense regions can harbor compact axion stars. Such axion stars could be discovered by microlensing eve…
Spins of primordial black holes formed in different cosmological scenarios
Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko
Primordial black holes (PBHs) could account for all or part of dark matter, as well as for some LIGO events. We discuss the spins of primordial black holes produced in different co…
Detectable Gravitational Wave Signals from Affleck-Dine Baryogenesis
Graham White, Lauren Pearce, Daniel Vagie +1
In Affleck-Dine baryogenesis, the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated through the evolution of the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of a scalar condensate. This sc…
Interstellar Gas Heating by Primordial Black Holes
Volodymyr Takhistov, Philip Lu, Graciela B. Gelmini +3
Interstellar gas heating is a powerful cosmology-independent observable for exploring the parameter space of primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the early Universe that could c…
