abstract

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered an abundant population of compact, extremely red, and X-ray weak objects at $z\gtrsim4$, knows as ``Little Red Dots" (LRDs). These objects exhibit spectral energy distributions that resemble both active galactic nuclei (AGN) and stellar population templates. However, whether dominated by AGN activity or compact star formation, the high redshifts and masses/luminosities of LRDs, coupled with their significant abundance, present potential challenges to the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. In this work, we proposes a novel cosmic interpretation of this anomaly, suggesting that these LRDs are likely massive galaxies seeded by supermassive primordial black holes (SMPBHs) came into being in the very early universe. We analyze 434 known LRDs from the 0.54 ${\rm deg}^2$ COSMOS-Web survey and test the hypothesis that they originated from SMPBHs assuming sub-Eddington accretion. According to our result, SMPBHs actually could lead to the existence of more LRDs, even at higher redshifts ($z>8$).

  1. Spectator Axions in String Inflation and Primordial Black Holes

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Fibre Inflation, spectator axions with f≲0.1 M_Pl leave the PBH power spectrum unchanged, while for f≳0.1 M_Pl and exponentially small non-perturbative prefactors they can raise P_R from 1.9e-4 to 3.5e-3 and enable...

  2. Influence of supermassive primordial black holes on ultraviolet luminosity of high-redshift galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fitting a model of supermassive primordial black holes to JWST data at z=11 reproduces the excess of bright galaxies, but the agreement reflects parameter tuning rather than an independent test.

  3. Can the universe experience an AdS landscape since matter-radiation equality?

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A universe with an AdS (negative cosmological constant) phase at recombination and another at low redshift is compatible with Planck, DESI, Pantheon Plus and SH0ES data, though not preferred by them.

  4. A fast deep-learning approach to probing primordial black hole populations in gravitational wave events

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A neural network maps single-event gravitational-wave posterior samples to joint PBH population posteriors in about one second on a GPU, with calibration matching MCMC on simulated catalogs.

  5. Prepare inflationary universe via the Euclidean charged wormhole

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A semiclassical Euclidean charged wormhole with an anti-de Sitter boundary can, in a fine-tuned potential, assign higher probability to a longer inflationary period, but it does not beat the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary state.
