Cosmological discrete self-similarity in primordial black hole formation

Luis E. Padilla, Tomohiro Harada, Ethan Milligan, David Mulryne · 2026

We demonstrate that discrete self-similarity (DSS), originally discovered in the collapse of a massless scalar field in an asymptotically flat system, survives in primordial black hole (PBH) formation…

The Roberge-Weiss transition as a probe for conformality in many-flavor QCD

Massimo D'Elia, Marco Nacci, Kevin Zambello · 2026

We consider the problem of identifying the onset of the conformal window for QCD with $N_f$ massless flavors in the fundamental representation, and propose a new effective method to determine it from …

Post-Inflationary Quenched Production of Axion SU(2) Dark Matter

Imtiaz Khan, Pirzada, G. Mustafa · 2026

The relic abundance of vector dark matter originating from an inherited axion-$SU(2)$ condensate is typically determined by implementing an adiabatic matching procedure across the symmetry-breaking tr…

Persistence and Transition Varieties in Scalar Field Cosmology

Spiros Cotsakis · 2026

We develop a bifurcation-theoretic description of Friedmann--Robertson--Walker cosmologies with a scalar field $\phi$, a barotropic fluid of index $\gamma$, and spatial curvature. For the strict expon…
