We study the effect of an ultralight primordial black hole (PBH) dominated phase on the
gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by a cosmic string (CS) network formed as a
result of a high-scale U (1) symmetry breaking. A PBH-dominated phase leads to tilts in the
spectrum via entropy dilution and generates a new GW spectrum from PBH density
fluctuations, detectable at ongoing and planned near-future GW detectors. The combined

We study the effect of an ultralight primordial black hole (PBH) dominated phase on the gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by a cosmic string (CS) network formed as a result of a high-scale symmetry breaking. A PBH-dominated phase leads to tilts in the spectrum via entropy dilution and generates a new GW spectrum from PBH density fluctuations, detectable at ongoing and planned near-future GW detectors. The combined spectrum has a unique shape with a plateau, a sharp tilted peak over the plateau, and a characteristic falloff, which can be distinguished from the one generated in the combination of CS and any other matter domination or new exotic physics. We discuss how ongoing and planned future experiments can probe such a unique spectrum for different values of breaking scale and PBH parameters such as initial mass and energy fraction.
