Micron-sized Extra Dimensions and Primordial Black Holes: Charged, Rotating, and Memory Burdened

We explore the possibility of explaining dark matter through six-dimensional (6D) primordial black holes (PBHs) in a theory with two extra dimensions. Interestingly, in this scenario the fundamental energy scale is of the order of $\sim 10$ TeV, accessible by future experiments. We analyse the viability of charged and rotating 6D black holes under standard Hawking evaporation as well as the memory burden scenario. In the case of pure Hawking evaporation, only PBHs with masses $M > 10^8$ g survive to present, while the lifetime of near-extremal configurations is extended by a factor $1/\beta^{1/2}$, where the parameter $\beta$ characterizes small deviations from extremality. In the memory burden scenario evaporation is enormously suppressed, and sub-gram mass PBHs can survive to the present epoch. At future colliders such as the Future Circular Collider, these micro black holes produce characteristic high multiplicity events, $\langle N \rangle \sim 21$, with thermal spectra, enabling direct probes of the fundamental scale and the number of extra dimensions. We find that the memory burden mechanism opens a broad new mass window for light PBH dark matter, while the Kaluza-Klein mass splitting $\Delta m$ aligns with the atmospheric neutrino scale, $\sqrt{\Delta m^2_{\text{atm}}}$ suggesting a unified framework between Swampland constraints, cosmology, collider physics, and low energy phenomenology.

5D Rotating Black Holes as dark matter in Dark Dimension Scenario: Hawking Radiation versus the Memory Burden Effect

This work explores the possibility that five-dimensional primordial rotating black holes could account for all, or a significant portion, of the dark matter in our universe. Our analysis is performed within the context of the ``dark dimension'' scenario, a theoretical consequence of the Swampland Program that predicts a single micron-scale extra dimension to explain the observed value of dark energy. We demonstrate that within this scenario, the mass loss of a primordial rotating black hole sensitive to the fifth dimension is significantly slower than that of its four-dimensional counterpart. Consequently, primordial black holes with an initial mass of $M\gtrsim 10^{10}$g can survive to the present day and potentially constitute the dominant form of dark matter. Finally, we investigate the memory burden effect and find that it dramatically prolongs the lifetime of five-dimensional rotating primordial black holes, making them compelling candidates for all the dark matter in the universe.
