Description
I will explain the formation of cosmic superstrings following the confinement phase transition in pure Yang-Mills theory, without invoking string theory or extra dimensions, and their significance in the production of GWs. Moreover, in pure SO(2N) gauge theory, a "baryonic glueball" is predicted as a potential candidate for dark matter. This model offers a way to potentially explain both the observed dark matter abundance and the GW signals detected in pulsar timing arrays.
