Title: Primordial black holes and the string swampland

Abstract

The “swampland conjectures” have been recently suggested as a set of criteria to assess if effective field theories are consistent with a quantum gravity embedding. Such criteria, which restrict the behavior of scalar fields in the theory, have strong implications for cosmology in the early Universe. As we demonstrate, they will also have direct consequences for the formation of primordial black holes and dark matter.

Spins of primordial black holes formed in different cosmological scenarios

Journal Article Flores, Marcos M. ; Kusenko, Alexander - Physical Review D

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 cosmological scenarios, with the emphasis on recently discovered possibilities. PBHs produced as a horizon-size collapse of density perturbations are known to have very small spins. In contrast, PBHs resulting from assembly of matterlike objects (particles, Q-balls, oscillons, etc.) can have large or small spins depending on their formation history and the efficiency of radiative cooling. Here, we show that scalar radiation can remove the angular momentum very efficiently, leadingmore »« less

Analytic description of primordial black hole formation from scalar field fragmentation

Journal Article Cotner, Eric ; Kusenko, Alexander ; Sasaki, Misao ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We report that primordial black hole (PBH) formation is a more generic phenomenon than was once thought. The dynamics of a scalar field in inflationary universe can produce PBHs under mild assumptions regarding the scalar potential. In the early universe, light scalar fields develop large expectation values during inflation and subsequently relax to the minimum of the effective potential at a later time. During the relaxation process, an initially homogeneous scalar condensate can fragment into lumps via an instability similar to the gravitational (Jeans) instability, where the scalar self-interactions, rather than gravity, play the leading role. The fragmentation of themore »« less

Primordial Black Holes from Long-Range Scalar Forces and Scalar Radiative Cooling

Journal Article Flores, Marcos M. ; Kusenko, Alexander - Physical Review Letters

We describe a new scenario for the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs). In the early Universe, the long-range forces mediated by the scalar fields can lead to formation of halos of heavy particles even during the radiation-dominated era. The same interactions result in the emission of scalar radiation from the motion and close encounters of particles in such halos. Radiative cooling due the scalar radiation allows the halos to collapse to black holes. We illustrate this scenario on a simple model with fermions interacting via the Yukawa forces. The abundance and the mass function of PBHs are suitable tomore »« less

Growth of primordial black holes in a universe containing a massless scalar field

Journal Article Harada, Tomohiro ; Carr, B J - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The evolution of primordial black holes in a flat Friedmann universe with a massless scalar field is investigated in fully general relativistic numerical relativity. A primordial black hole is expected to form with a scale comparable to the cosmological apparent horizon, in which case it may go through an initial phase with significant accretion. However, if it is very close to the cosmological apparent horizon size, the accretion is suppressed due to general relativistic effects. In any case, it soon gets smaller than the cosmological horizon and thereafter it can be approximated as an isolated vacuum solution with decaying massmore »« less

Primordial Black Holes from Supersymmetry in the Early Universe

Journal Article Cotner, Eric ; Kusenko, Alexander - Physical Review Letters

Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model generically suggest that in the early universe a scalar condensate can form and fragment into Q-balls before decaying. If the Q-balls dominate the energy density for some period of time, the relatively large fluctuations in their number density can lead to formation of primordial black holes (PBH). Other scalar fields, unrelated to supersymmetry, can play a similar role. For a general charged scalar field, this robust mechanism can generate black holes over the entire mass range allowed by observational constraints, with a sufficient abundance to account for all dark matter in some parameter ranges.more »« less
