Revisiting formation of primordial black holes in a supercooled first-order phase transition

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We reexamine production of primordial black holes in a supercooled phase transition. While a mere overdensity associated with a surviving false-vacuum patch does not imply formation of a black hole, it is possible for such a patch […]

Criticality in the Luria-Delbrück model with an arbitrary mutation rate

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Deng Pan, Jie Lin, Ariel Amir, , | Summary: The Luria-Delbr"uck model is a classic model of population dynamics with random mutations, that has been used historically to prove that random mutations drive evolution. In typical scenarios, the relevant mutation rate is exceedingly small, and mutants are […]
