Abstract

We propose a new scenario of the baryogenesis from primordial black holes (PBH). Assuming presence of microscopic baryon (or lepton) number violation and a CP violating operator such as αF(R....)Jα\partial_\alpha F(\mathcal{R_{....}} ) J^\alpha, where F(R....)F(\mathcal{R_{....}}) is a scalar function of the Riemann tensor, time evolution of an evaporating black hole generates baryonic (leptonic) chemical potential at the horizon; consequently PBH enumerates asymmetric Hawking radiation between baryons (leptons) and anti-baryons (leptons). Though the operator is higher dimensional and largely suppressed by a high mass scale MM_*, we show that sufficient amount of asymmetry can be generated for a wide range of parameters of the PBH mass MPBHM_{\rm PBH}, its abundance ΩPBH\Omega_{\rm PBH}, and the scale MM_*.
