In the standard model and most of its extensions the electroweak transition is too weak to affect the cosmological baryon asymmetry. Due to sphaleron processes baryogenesis in the high-temperature, symmetric phase of the standard model is…
In models with the fundamental gravity scale in the TeV range, early cosmology is quite different from the standard picture, because the universe must have arisen at a much lower temperature and the electroweak symmetry was probably never…
We show that baryogenesis can arise from the cosmological evolution of a scalar field that governs CP-violating parameters, such as the Yukawa couplings and the theta terms of the Standard Model. During the big bang, this scalar may reach a…
We study the scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis in higher-dimensional theories, in which the scale of quantum gravity is many orders of magnitude smaller than the usual Planck mass. The minimal realization of these theories…
We discuss a mechanism for producing baryon density perturbations during inflationary stage and study the evolution of the baryon charge density distribution in the framework of the low temperature baryogenesis scenario. This mechanism may…
We describe a simple and predictive scenario for baryogenesis in theories with large extra dimensions which resembles Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. The Affleck-Dine field is a complex scalar field carrying a $U(1)_{\chi}$ charge which is…
Baryogenesis from the coherent production of a scalar condensate along a flat direction of the supersymmetric extension of the standard model (Affleck-Dine mechanism) is investigated. Two important effects are emphasized. First,…
Many theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model predict long-lived fields that may have dominated the Universe at early times and then decayed. Their decay, which injects entropy in the thermal bath, is responsible for a second…
We examine the generation of baryon asymmetry at the weak scale from a primordial lepton asymmetry. If the electroweak phase transition is first order, partial reflection of tau leptons off the bubble walls and the resulting hypercharge…
Following a baryogenesis scenario proposed by Lazarides, Panagiotakopoulos and Shafi, we show how the observed baryon asymmetry can be explained via resonant leptogenesis in a class of supersymmetric models with an intermediate mass scale…
A model of inhomogeneous baryogenesis based on the Affleck and Dine mechanism is described. A simple coupling of the scalar baryon field to the inflaton allows for formation of astronomically significant bubbles with a large baryon (or…
We make generic remarks about baryogenesis in models where the scale $M_s$ of quantum gravity is much below the Planck scale. These correspond to M-theory vacua with a large volume for the internal space. Baryogenesis is a challenge,…
We perform a detailed analysis of baryon asymmetry generation in the NuMSM (an extension of the Standard Model by three singlet Majorana fermions with masses below the Fermi scale). Fixing a number of parameters of the NuMSM by the neutrino…
Baryon asymmetry of the universe is generated in the supersymmetric standard model (SSM) through the charge transport mechanism mediated by top squarks. Necessary CP violation originates from a complex phase contained in mass-squared…
In this letter we show that the inflaton can generate the cosmological baryon asymmetry. We take the inflaton to be a complex scalar field with a weakly broken global symmetry and develop a new variant on the Affleck-Dine mechanism. The…
We show that if a baryon asymmetry of the universe is generated through the out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy scalar bilinears coupling to two fermions of the minimal standard model, it is necessarily an asymmetry conserving $(B-L)$ which…
The baryogenesis by decays of the right--handed neutrinos in the Majoron model is studied. We show that compared to the observational value it is possible to produce large enough baryon asymmetry in the Majoron model or, at least,…
In string/M-theory with a large compactification radius, some axion-like moduli can be much lighter than the gravitino. Generic moduli in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models also have a mass far below the weak scale. Motivated by…
Baryogenesis in the models where the fundamental scale is as low as TeV in the context of large extra dimensions is a challenging problem. The requirement for the departure from thermal equilibrium necessarily ties any low scale…
A mechanism is presented, in which the mixing of right handed heavy Majorana neutrinos creates a $CP-$asymmetric universe. When these Majorana neutrinos subsequently decay more leptons than anti-leptons are produced. The lepton asymmetry…
