The running of the Higgs self coupling may lead to numerous phenomena in early universe cosmology. In this paper we introduce a scenario where the Higgs running induces turns in the trajectory passing a region with tachyonic mass, leading to a temporal tachyonic growth in the curvature power spectrum. This effect induced by the Higgs leaves phenomena in the form of primordial black holes and stochastic gravitational waves, where proposed GW observatories will be able to probe in the near future.

  1. X-ray signals converted from high-frequency gravitational waves emitted by spinning light primordial black hole dark matter

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Superradiant gravitational waves from light primordial black holes can convert into X-ray photons in the Galactic magnetic field, making the PBH dark-matter scenario testable with future X-ray observatories.

  2. Genesis--Starobinsky inflation can explain the ACT data

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Genesis-to-Starobinsky inflation model in Horndeski gravity shifts the scalar spectral index upward enough to bring Starobinsky inflation into agreement with ACT CMB data.

  3. Gravitational waves from a first-order phase transition of the inflaton

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A single non-minimally coupled dark Higgs can drive both inflation and a first-order phase transition whose gravitational waves fall within the reach of planned experiments.
