15. Observational Signatures of Cosmological Stasis

Brooks Thomas

5/13/25, 4:26 PM

Cosmological stasis is a phenomenon wherein the abundances of multiple cosmological energy components with different equations of state remain constant for an extended period despite the expansion of the universe. In this talk, I discuss the possible observational implications of this phenomenon. These include characteristic imprints in the stochastic gravitational-wave background and an...

16. Evaporating Primordial Black Holes: Reformation and Isocurvature Perturbations

Dr TaeHun Kim (KIAS)

5/13/25, 5:12 PM

Primordial black holes (PBHs) lighter than 10^9 g are expected to have fully evaporated before the big bang nucleosynthesis, leaving their past abundances unconstrained by observations. Depending on their initial abundance, these PBHs could have temporarily dominated the Universe or remained as a subdominant component. In this talk, I explore the cosmological implications of such light mass...
