We discuss a mechanism for generating the baryon asymetry of the Universe that involves a putative violation of CPT symmetry arising from string interactions.
We examine the effects on baryogenesis of spontaneous CPT violation in a string-based scenario. Under suitable circumstances, certain CPT-violating terms can produce a large baryon asymmetry at the grand-unified scale that reduces to the…
In four-space-time dimensional string/brane theory, obtained either through compactification of the extra spatial dimensions, or by appropriate restriction to brane worlds with three large spatial dimensions, the rich physics potential…
A mechanism for spontaneous CPT breaking appears in string theory. Possible implications for present-energy particle models are discussed. A realistic string theory might exhibit CPT violation at levels detectable in current or future…
This talk contains a summary of our work on dynamical CPT invariance and spontaneous CPT violation in string theories, including the possibility that stringy CPT violation could occur at levels detectable in the next generation of…
Spontaneous CPT breaking arising in string theory has been suggested as a possible observable experimental signature in neutral-meson systems. We provide a theoretical framework for the treatment of low-energy effects of spontaneous CPT…
A sketch of our results on CPT and strings is given. A mechanism for spontaneous CPT violation in string theory is briefly reviewed, and recent theoretical progress is summarized. Possible CPT-violating contributions to a four-dimensional…
This talk provides an overview of a string-based mechanism for spontaneous CPT violation. A summary is given of theoretical developments. The mechanism could generate CPT-violating contributions to a four-dimensional low-energy effective…
We review scenarios of baryogenesis through leptogenesis at early epochs of the universe, in string-inspired minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM), involving heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Spontaneous violation of CPT…
In the presence of background fields that spontaneously violate Lorentz invariance, a matter-antimatter asymmetry can be generated even in thermal equilibrium. In this paper we systematically investigate models of this type, showing that…
We consider a model of an expanding Universe in string theory that yields `environmental' CPT violation for fermions, in the sense of different dispersion relations for fermions and antifermions. These are induced by a cosmological…
General features of generation of the cosmological charge asymmetry in CPT non-invariant world are discussed. If the effects of CPT violation manifest themselves only in mass differences of particles and antiparticles, the baryon asymmetry…
Stability and causality are investigated for quantum field theories incorporating Lorentz and CPT violation. Explicit calculations in the quadratic sector of a general renormalizable lagrangian for a massive fermion reveal that no…

In this paper it is given a brief review of the current limits on the magnitude of CPT and Lorentz Invariance violations, currently predicted in connection with quantum gravity and string/M-theory, that can be derived from astrophysical and…
A short review is given of some theoretical approaches to CPT violation. A potentially realistic possibility is that small apparent breaking of CPT and Lorentz symmetry could arise at the level of the standard model from spontaneous…
Based on a study of {\it charge,} (C), {\it parity} (P) and {\it time reversal} (T) symmetries we show how a CP violating network of defects in the early Universe may bias baryon number production. A static network, even though it violates…
We show that $CPT$ is in general violated in a non-quantum-mechanical way in the effective low-energy theory derived from string theory, as a result of apparent world-sheet charge non-conservation induced by stringy monopoles corresponding…
We describe a possible realization of the spontaneous baryogenesis mechanism in the context of extra-dimensional string cosmology and specifically in the string gas scenario.
In generic models for grand unified theories(GUT), various types of baryon number violating processes are expected when quarks and leptons propagate in the background of GUT strings. On the other hand, in models with large extra dimensions,…
