Cosmological and astrophysical observations provide a unique opportunity to probe the fundamental properties of dark matter. Dark matter interactions with the Standard Model of particle physics, for example, can alter predictions from the standard cosmological model, permitting robust tests of new dark matter physics. In this talk, I will describe the impact that dark matter interactions have...

Many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model give rise to a unique early-universe cosmology during which the abundances of different energy components such as matter, radiation, and vacuum energy remain constant across extended cosmological eras, even though the universe is expanding. Even more surprisingly, such “stasis” epochs are actually universal attractors, with the universe...

It has recently been realized that many extensions of the Standard Model give rise to cosmological histories exhibiting extended epochs of cosmological stasis — epochs wherein the abundances of multiple energy components (such as matter, radiation, or vacuum energy) remain effectively constant despite cosmological expansion. In this talk, I shall discuss a novel realization of stasis involving...

In this talk, we will look at the role of primordial black holes in sourcing the cosmic baryon as well as dark matter abundance.
