abstract
Strongly-coupled theories at the TeV can naturally drive a long period of supercooling in the early universe. Trapped into the deconfined phase, the universe could inflate and cool down till the temperature reaches the QCD strong scale. We show how at these low temperatures QCD effects are important and could trigger the exit from the long supercooling era. We also study the implications on relic abundances. In particular, the latent heat released at the end of supercooling could be the reason for the similarities between dark matter and baryon energy densities. The axion abundance could also be significantly affected, allowing for larger values of the axion decay constant. Finally, we discuss how a long supercooling epoch could lead to an enhanced gravitational wave signal.

Holographic 5D model shows confinement critical temperature falls quadratically with vacuum angle, matches lattice QCD, and allows time-dependent theta to trigger supercooling and altered gravitational-wave spectra.
A state-of-the-art thermodynamic analysis of supercooled phase transitions yields a universal lower bound β/H_* ≃ 5 and shows that viable PBH dark-matter parameter space in classically conformal gauge-Higgs theories is severely limited by percolation and QCD constraints.
Soft-wall warped geometries yield rapid, mildly supercooled phase transitions whose TeV-scale gravitational wave signals are accessible to space-based interferometers.
Updated LISA detection prospects for gravitational waves from phase transitions are derived from state-of-the-art sound-wave simulations, with a new web tool PTPlot provided for parameter scans.
