Gravitational Waves from Cosmological Phase Transitions
Moritz Breitbach
In the present thesis, the author reviews the physics of cosmological first-order phase transitions that may have occured shortly after the Big Bang. Such transitions proceed via t…

Detailed Calculation of Primordial Black Hole Formation During First-Order Cosmological Phase Transitions
Michael J. Baker, Moritz Breitbach, Joachim Kopp +1
Primordial black holes could potentially form during a first-order cosmological phase transition due to a build-up of particles which are predominantly reflected from the advancing…

Primordial Black Holes from First-Order Cosmological Phase Transitions
Michael J. Baker, Moritz Breitbach, Joachim Kopp +1
We discuss the possibility of forming primordial black holes during a first-order phase transition in the early Universe. As is well known, such a phase transition proceeds through…
