abstract

We point out that SO($2N$) pure Yang-Mills theory provides a candidate for dark matter (DM) without the explicit need to impose any additional symmetry. The DM candidate is a particular type of glueball, which we refer to as a baryonic glueball, that is naturally stable and produced by a novel production mechanism for a moderately large $N$. In this case, the intercommutation probability of cosmic strings (or macroscopic color flux tubes) is quite low, which offers characteristic gravitational wave signals to test our model. In particular, our model can simultaneously account for both abundance of DM and the recently reported gravitational wave signals detected in pulsar timing array experiments, including NANOGrav.

  1. Formation and scaling of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ strings for global $\mathrm{SU}(N)/\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a global SU(N)/Z_N scalar model, Z_N-string networks with baryon-vertex-like junctions reach a scaling regime for N=2,3,4,5,8, with string density proportional to N^2-1.

  2. Optical gravitational waves as signals of Gravitationally-Decaying Particles

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A particle that decays only through gravitational channels can produce relic gravitational waves with a narrow optical-frequency spectrum, possibly at an observable abundance near the BBN/CMB bound.

  3. Can tensor-scalar induced GWs dominate PTA observations ?

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Bayesian fit to NANOGrav 15-year data finds that tensor-scalar induced gravitational waves plus primordial tensor waves can fit the PTA background, with amplitudes constrained by CMB, BAO, and PBH limits.

  4. NANOGrav 15-year gravitational-wave signals from binary supermassive black-holes seeded by primordial black holes, and implications for the origins of Little Red Dots

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A PBH abundance of 10^-14–10^-12 of CDM, with seed masses 1–10^3 M_sun, is fitted to the NANOGrav 15-year background via SMBH mergers, consistent with 21-cm limits.
