Some indication of conditions that are necessary for the formation of black holes from the collision of bubbles during a supercooled phase transition in the the early universe are explored. Two colliding bubbles can never form a black hole. Three colliding bubbles can refocus the energy in their walls to the extent that it becomes infinite.

  1. Are Primordial Black Holes a Natural Dark Matter Candidate?

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    PBH dark matter spans all naturalness tiers, with some mechanisms as natural as WIMPs or freeze-in particles, determined by abundance map structure rather than candidate type.

  2. Primordial black holes spin from cosmological first-order phase transitions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper derives a quantitative relationship showing that the Kerr parameter a_* of PBHs from first-order phase transitions increases with latent heat α and decreases with transition rate β, reaching typical values o...

  3. What happens when supercooling is terminated by curvature flipping of the effective potential?

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supercooling terminated by curvature flipping still proceeds by bubble nucleation and expansion, not by smooth phase mixing, according to 3D lattice simulations.

  4. Dark matter production from evaporation of regular primordial black holes

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Regular primordial black holes can evaporate completely like singular ones and yield the observed dark matter density under modified cosmological constraints.
