In this study, we introduce a novel approach aimed at addressing the longstanding baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry conundrum. Our proposed mechanism suggests that baryon numbers were generated during the inflationary epoch through the dynamics…
Supersymmetry breaking in the early universe induces scalar soft potentials with curvature of order the Hubble constant. This has a dramatic effect on the coherent production of scalar fields along flat directions. For the moduli problem it…
This is a very short review on different mechanisms for baryogenesis from particle decays or annihilations at low temperature (T < ~ 10 TeV) and their implementation in models that relate the origin of the baryon asymmetry and dark matter.
We show that in the vacuum inflation model, the gravitational baryogenesis mechanism will produce the baryon asymmetry. We analyze the evolution of entropy and baryon number in the vacuum inflation model. The comparison between dilution…
We present an extended version of the dynamical model for a multi-quark droplet evolution described in our proceeding paper. The model includes collective expansion of the droplet, effects of the vacuum pressure and surface tension, and now…
We propose a primeval baryon isocurvature model in the context of the Affleck-Dine (AD) baryogenesis mechanism. Quantum fluctuations of the AD field during inflation produce fluctuations in the baryon number. We obtain a model which gives…
We consider origins of the baryon asymmetry which we observe today. We review the progress of electroweak-scale baryogenesis, and show a new mechanism, string-scale baryogenesis.
We have studied finite temperature corrections to the baryon transport cross sections and diffusion coefficients. These corrections are based upon the recently computed renormalized electron mass and the modified state density due to the…
One mechanism for generating a baryon asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition involves propagation of particle asymmetries generated by reflection from the bubble walls into the unbroken phase. Hitherto attention has focussed on top…
We investigate baryogenesis from dark matter oscillations in the ultraviolet freeze-in regime. We find that the mechanism can simultaneously accommodate the observed abundances of baryons and dark matter for dark matter masses in the 10 keV…
We consider the effects of particle transport in the topological defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis scenarios of Ref. 1. We analyze the cases of both thin and thick defects and demonstrate an enhancement of the original mechanism in…
We study a scenario in which the baryon asymmetry of the universe arises from a cosmological phase transition where lepton-number is spontaneously broken. If the phase transition is first order, a lepton-number asymmetry can arise at the…
We study the effect of damping on the generation of baryon asymmetry of the Universe in the standard model of the eletroweak theory with simple extensions of the Higgs sector. The propagation of quarks of masses up to about 5 GeV are…
Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis is an attempt to explain the cosmological baryon asymmetry using only a minimal extension of the Standard Model. The relevant processes take place out of thermal equilibrium and are non-perturbative, and so…
Electroweak baryogenesis provides a very attractive scenario to explain the origin of the baryon asymmetry. The mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis makes use of the baryon number anomaly and relies on physics that can be tested…
Leptogenesis in supersymmetric model is discussed comprehensively and in detail. In the first half, we discuss several leptogenesis mechanisms by the decay of heavy right-handed neutrino, which include the standard thermal leptogenesis,…
We present results on bulk thermodynamic quantities as well as net baryon number, strangeness and electric charge fluctuations in QCD at non-zero density and temperature obtained from lattice calculations with almost physical quark masses…
We analyze the spontaneous baryogenesis and charge transport mechanisms suggested by Cohen, Kaplan and Nelson for baryon asymmetry generation in extended versions of electroweak theory. We find that accounting for non-perturbative…
An introduction to the subject of baryon number non-conservation in the electroweak theory at high temperatures or energies is followed by a summary of our discovery of an infinite surface of sphaleron-like configurations which play a key…
We present a first-principles numerical computation of the baryon asymmetry in electroweak-scale baryogenesis. For the scenario of Cold Baryogenesis, we consider a one fermion-family reduced CP-violating two Higgs-doublet model, including a…
