The Standard Model Extension with the inclusion of gravity is studied in the framework of the gravitational baryogenesis, a mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry based on the coupling between the Ricci scalar curvature and the baryon…
We propose a mechanism for baryogenesis in which the baryon asymmetry is generated as an equilibrium response of weak sphalerons in a region where electroweak sphaleron transitions remain unsuppressed, $h/T\lesssim 1$. A nonzero equilibrium…
Models of spontaneous baryogenesis have an interaction term $\partial_\mu\theta j^\mu_B$ in the Lagrangian, where $j^\mu_B$ is the baryonic current and $\theta$ can be a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. Since the time component of this term,…
It is argued that the `problem of time' in quantum gravity necessitates a refinement of the local inertial structure of the world, demanding a replacement of the usual Minkowski line element by a 4+2n dimensional pseudo-Euclidean line…
We propose a toy model of baryogenesis which applies the `ratchet mechanism,' used frequently in the theory of biological molecular motors, to a model proposed by Dimopoulos and Susskind.
The spontaneous baryogenesis mechanism by Cohen, Kaplan and Nelson is reconsidered taking into account the transport of particles inside the electroweak bubble walls. Using linear response theory, we calculate the modifications on the…
This work provides a smooth and everywhere well-defined extension of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) supertranslations into the bulk of Minkowski space. The supertranslations lead to physically distinct spacetimes, all isometric to Minkowski…
In gravitational Higgs mechanism graviton components acquire mass in the process of spontaneous breaking of diffeomorphisms (via scalar vacuum expectation values). Recently, gravitational Higgs mechanism was discussed in the context of…
The Hyperboloidal Foliation Method presented in this monograph is based on a (3+1)-foliation of Minkowski spacetime by hyperboloidal hypersurfaces. It allows us to establish global-in-time existence results for systems of nonlinear wave…
We review the experimental evidence for a net baryon density in cosmology, and the theoretical mechanism for producing it, called leptogenesis, which relies on the creation of a lepton asymmetry at an intermediate step. The naturality of…
We study a scenario for baryogenesis in modular cosmology and discuss its implications for the moduli stabilization mechanism and the supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scale. If moduli fields dominate the Universe and decay into the standard…
In a recent paper (arXiv:1412.6000) a general mechanism for emergence of cosmological space-time geometry from a quantum gravity setting was devised and departure from standard dispersion relations for elementary particle were predicted. We…
String/ M-theory compactifications predict the existence of a modulus field with a mass of 100-10000 TeV. Its decay at MeV-temperatures generates large amounts of entropy and washes out any previously produced baryon asymmetry. We describe…
A frame-like action for massless mixed-symmetry fermionic fields in Minkowski space is constructed. The action is uniquely determined by gauge invariance.
A new characterization of conformal transformations is given. By use of this, the general form of conformal transformation on two-dimensional Minkowski space is given and its conformal structure is analyzed.
We propose a simple model of baryogenesis comprised of the standard model coupled to a singlet X via higher dimension operators O. In the early universe, X is thermalized by O mediated scattering processes before it decouples…
The Minkowski's theory is regarded as the classical approach for describing the electromagnetism of uniformly moving objects by elegantly utilizing the format-invariance of the Maxwell's equations in inertia reference frames under Lorentz…
An effective mathematical framework based on Presymplectic Geometry for dealing with the "phase space picture" of timeless dynamics in General Relativity is presented. In General Relativity, the presence of the scalar Hamiltonian constraint…
First principles should predetermine physical geometry and dynamics both together. In the "algebrodynamics" they follow solely from the properties of the biquaternion algebra $\B$ and the analysis over $\B$. We briefly present the…
The growth rate of matter perturbations is computed in a magnetized environment for the LambdaCDM and wCDM paradigms. It is argued that the baryons do not necessarily follow into the dark matter potential wells after they are released from…
