A new mechanism of black hole formation in a first order phase transition is proposed. In vacuum bubble collisions the interaction of bubble walls leads to the formation of nontrivial vacuum configuration. The consequent collapse of this vacuum configuration induces the black hole formation with high probability. Observational constraints on the spectrum of primordial black holes allow to obtain new nontrivial restrictions on parameters of inflation models with first order phase transitions.

  1. Particle Production via Rippled Bubble Walls

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A rippled bubble wall produces heavy particles resonantly when the momentum transfer matches the ripple frequency, potentially raising dark-matter abundance by orders of magnitude.

  2. Numerical simulations of primordial black hole formation via delayed first-order phase transitions

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spherically symmetric numerical relativity shows false-vacuum domains from delayed first-order phase transitions form type B (baby-universe) or type A (direct-collapse) primordial black holes, separated by a robust t_...

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Randall-Sundrum warped extra dimension models, the supercooled radion phase transition can form primordial black holes that account for all of dark matter for IR scales 10 TeV to 10^4 TeV, with correlated gravitati...

  4. Numerical simulations of density perturbation and gravitational wave production from cosmological first-order phase transition

    hep-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    3D simulations of cosmological first-order phase transitions find density perturbation spectra with k^3 and k^{-1.5} slopes and GW spectra with k^3 and k^{-2}, confirming slow transitions can produce PBHs.

  5. Super-exponential Primordial Black Hole Production via Delayed Vacuum Decay

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    PBH abundance from delayed vacuum decay follows f_pbh ≈ M exp(-Q exp(-S3(Tp)/Tp)), so S3(Tp)/Tp super-exponentially controls how many black holes form.

  6. Enhancement of small-scale induced gravitational waves from the soliton/oscillon domination

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

    Soliton or oscillon domination generates detectable induced gravitational waves, with spectra that constrain the lumps' lifetime, abundance, and separation.

  7. Primordial black hole formation in bulk-viscous cosmology

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bulk viscosity raises the critical collapse threshold for primordial black holes by an amount comparable to the viscosity strength and increases the resulting black hole masses.

  8. Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter: Recent Developments

    astro-ph.CO 2020-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes in specific mass ranges could account for some or all dark matter while resolving structure-formation and seed problems in standard cosmology.
