Primordial black holes can be produced by a long range attractive fifth force stronger than gravity, mediated by a light scalar field interacting with nonrelativistic "heavy" particles. As soon as the energy fraction of heavy particles…

Fundamental fields are a natural outcome in cosmology and particle physics and might therefore serve as a proxy for more complex interactions. The equivalence principle implies that all forms of matter gravitate, and one therefore expects…
In a recent propposal, the cosmological constant has been considered as as a new thermodynamical variable and its change is related to the radiation produced by black holes. Using this consideration and by modelling the primordial black…
