A Discrete Cyclic Mass Hierarchy 4^N for Primordial Black Holes: Bridging Asteroid-Mass Dark Matter to Early JWST Heavy Seeds
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of mature, overly massive galaxies and supermassive black hole (SMBH) seeds at extreme redshifts (e.g., UHZ1 at z ≈ 10.3) fundamentally challenge the standard ΛCDM timeline of structure formation via sub-Eddington accretion. Simultaneously, the fundamental nature of Dark Matter remains elusive, with the asteroid-mass primordial black hole (PBH) window remaining one of the few unconstrained domains. We propose a unified, non-parametric solution derived from the Null-Vector Gravity (NVG) cyclic cosmology framework. We show that PBHs generated in prior aeons survive the QCD-scale Euclidean Genesis bounce and undergo a geometric mass amplification scaling as M_{N+1} = 4^N × M_seed during successive cyclic expansions. This discrete mass hierarchy naturally links the entire spectrum of black hole anomalies. Starting from a stable asteroid-mass base seed (~10⁻¹⁴ M☉) acting as collisionless dark matter, the geometric progression exactly predicts a population of heavy seeds in the range of 10⁵–10⁶ M☉ at the onset of the current cosmological epoch. This framework entirely eliminates the need for unphysical super-Eddington accretion rates or exotic direct-collapse mechanisms in the early universe.
