Super-slow phase transition catalyzed by BHs and the birth of baby BHs
We discuss the unique phenomenology of first-order phase transitions catalyzed by primordial black holes (BHs). If the number of BHs within one Hubble volume is smaller than unity at the time of bubble nucleation, each bubble catalyzed around them can expand to the Hubble size, and the universe is e...
