Gravitational wave signatures of no-scale supergravity in NANOGrav and beyond
In this Letter, we derive for the first time a characteristic three-peaked GW signal within the
framework of no-scale Supergravity, being the low-energy limit of Superstring theory. We …

Ultralow mass primordial black holes in the early Universe can explain the pulsar timing array signal
Pulsar timing array collaborations have recently announced the discovery of a stochastic
gravitational wave (GW) background at nanohertz frequencies. We analyze the GW signals …

Probing modified Hawking evaporation with gravitational waves from the primordial black hole dominated universe
It has been recently proposed that Hawking evaporation might slow down after a black hole
has lost about half of its mass. Such an effect, called" memory burden", is parameterized as …

The primordial black holes that disappeared: connections to dark matter and MHz-GHz gravitational Waves
In the post-LIGO era, there has been a lot of focus on primordial black holes (PBHs) heavier
than∼ 10 15 g as potential dark matter (DM) candidates. We point out that the branch of the …
