Scientific paper

In a novel scenario, gamma-ray bursts having energy ~1051 ergs are of intergalactic origin and arise from induced collapse of a lone neutron star triggered by a primordial black hole. The black hole on a bound orbit inside the protostellar cloud can be captured (in pregalactic epoch) by a forming star. The energy released from the phase transition of accreted nucleon matter into the quark-gluon plasma is transferred by degenerate neutrinos to the star's surface, where neutrinos annihilate into an electron-positron plasma and produce an inverted temperature layer that preserves a fireball from undue baryonic pollution. Possible observational tests include absence of apparent cosmological time dilation, presence of a distinct population of bursts at z ~15, specific shape of logN-logS dependence with a break near redshift z ~0.7, bimodal distribution of durations, short burst of ~100 GeV photons just before the main event, etc.
