abstract
We study the effect of primordial black holes on the classical rate of nucleation of AdS regions within the standard electroweak vacuum at high temperature. We find that the energy barrier for transitions to the new vacuum, which determines the exponential suppression of the nucleation rate, can be reduced significantly, or even eliminated completely, in the black-hole background if the Standard Model Higgs is coupled to gravity through the renormalizable term $\xi {\cal R} h^2$.

Black Holes and Baryon Number Violation: Unveiling the Origins of Early Galaxies and the Low-Mass Gap
The authors argue that near a black hole horizon the gravitational field flattens the Higgs potential, removing the sphaleron barrier, and that the resulting baryon generation can explain early massive galaxies and th...
