Primordial Black Hole Hot Spots and Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics
Jacob Gunn, Lucien Heurtier, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +1
When light primordial black holes (PBHs) evaporate in the early Universe, they locally reheat the surrounding plasma, creating hot spots with temperatures that can be significantly…
Primordial black holes from an interrupted phase transition
Wen-Yuan Ai, Lucien Heurtier, Tae Hyun Jung
We propose a new mechanism of primordial black hole formation via an interrupted phase transition during the early matter-dominated stage of reheating after inflation. In reheating…
Cosmological Stasis from Dynamical Scalars: Tracking Solutions and the Possibility of a Stasis-Induced Inflation
Keith R. Dienes, Lucien Heurtier, Fei Huang +2
It has recently been realized that many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model give rise to cosmological histories exhibiting extended epochs of cosmological stasis. During…
