Metastable cosmic strings

W Buchmüller, V Domcke… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Many symmetry breaking patterns in grand unified theories (GUTs) give rise to cosmic
strings that eventually decay when pairs of GUT monopoles spontaneously nucleate along …

Gravitational wave signatures of a PBH-generated baryon-dark matter coincidence

B Barman, D Borah, SJ Das, R Roshan - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We propose a new way of probing the nonthermal origin of baryon asymmetry of the
Universe (BAU) and dark matter (DM) from evaporating primordial black holes (PBHs) via …

Composite topological structures in SO (10)

G Lazarides, Q Shafi, A Tiwari - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We explore a variety of composite topological structures that arise from the
spontaneous breaking of SO (10) to SU (3) c× U (1) em via one of its maximal subgroups SU …

Cosmological probes of grand unification: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

A Ghoshal, A Moursy, Q Shafi - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the inflationary cosmology involving an SU (5) GUT (grand unified theory)
singlet scalar with nonminimal coupling to the Ricci scalar. In this scenario the scale of …

R Maji, WI Park, Q Shafi - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
We explore the gravitational wave spectrum generated by string-wall structures in an SO
(10)(S pin (10)) based scenario of pseudo-Goldstone boson dark matter (pGDM) particle …

Gravitational waves from cosmic strings associated with pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter

ZY Qiu, ZH Yu - Chinese Physics C, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

complete model for pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter with a hidden ${U (1)} $ gauge …

Probing minimal grand unification through gravitational waves, proton decay, and fermion masses

S Saad - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the direct discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) from black holes
and neutron stars, there is a growing interest in investigating GWs from other sources …

Using gravitational waves to see the first second of the Universe

R Roshan, G White - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.04388, 2024 - arxiv.org
Gravitational waves are a unique probe of the early Universe, as the Universe is transparent
to gravitational radiation right back to the beginning. In this article, we summarise detection …

Flavor leptogenesis during the reheating era

A Datta, R Roshan, A Sil - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Recently, it has been shown that the presence of a noninstantaneous era of reheating can
significantly alter the charged lepton (s) equilibration temperature (s) which plays an …

Kinetic mixing, proton decay and gravitational waves in SO (10)

R Maji, Q Shafi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We present an SO (10) model in which a dimension five operator induces kinetic
mixing at the GUT scale between the abelian subgroups U (1) B− L and U (1) R. We discuss …
