Leptogenesis Effects on the Gravitational Waves Background: Interpreting the NANOGrav Measurements and JWST Constraints on Primordial Black Holes (2401.05311v2)

Abstract: We demonstrate that the leptogenesis mechanisms, which are associated with B-L symmetry breaking mechanism has notable effects on the production of gravitational waves. These gravitational waves align well with the recent observations of a stochastic gravitational wave background by NANOGrav and pulsar-timing arrays (PTAs). For these gravitational waves to match the recent measurements, the critical value of the B-L breaking should be around the GUT scale. Moreover, we consider the generation of primordial gravitational waves from binary systems of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) which could be predicted by the recent detection of gravitational waves. PBHs with specific masses can be responsible for massive galaxy formation observed at high redshifts reported by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We contemplate the potential for a shared source between the NANOGrav and JWST observations, namely primordial black holes. These black holes could serve as seeds of rapid galaxy formation, offering an explanation for the galaxies observed by JWST.
