We calculate the baryon asymmetry value generated in the Scalar Field Condensate (SCF) baryogenesis model obtained in several inflationary scenarios and different reheating models. We provide analysis of the baryon asymmetry value obtained for more t...

Gravitational Baryogenesis: Problems and Possible Resolution

  • Elena Arbuzova,
  • Alexander Dolgov,
  • Koushik Dutta and
  • Raghavan Rangarajan

3 February 2023

The coupling of baryonic current to the derivative of the curvature scalar, R, inherent to gravitational baryogenesis (GBG), leads to a fourth-order differential equation of motion for R instead of the algebraic one of general relativity (GR). The fo...

  • José P. Mimoso

21 December 2023

In this review article, we revisit the topic of baryogenesis, which is the physical process that generated the observed baryon asymmetry during the first stages of the primordial Universe. A viable theoretical explanation to understand and investigat...

In this paper, we study the matter–antimatter imbalance in the universe through baryogenesis (also known as baryosynthesis), which is a physical process that took off just a little while after the big bang explosion, producing a supremacy of ma...

A very likely New Physics in plain sight, but that the community does not see, is a second Higgs doublet that has a second set of Yukawa couplings. The extra tt and tc couplings can each drive baryogenesis, with O(1) Higgs quartic couplings providing...

We analytically investigate the charge parity (CP) violation, neutrino masses, and leptogenesis in the Standard Model (SM) with an extension to Dirac neutrinos, building on our previous quark sector analysis. Using systematic top-down diagonalization...

In the present work, we examine the following points in the context of curvature coupling helical magnetogenesis scenario where the electromagnetic field couples with the background Ricci scalar as well as with the background Gauss-Bonnet cuvature te...

We propose that modifications to the Higgs potential within a narrow atmospheric layer near the event horizon of an astrophysical black hole could significantly enhance the rate of sphaleron transitions, as well as transform the Chern–Simons nu...

We propose a distinct mechanism to explain the matter–antimatter imbalance observed in the universe, rooted in quantum entanglement asymmetry (QEA). Our concept of QEA differs from its usage in the recent literature, where it typically measures...

Probing Dark Sectors with Neutron Stars

  • Susan Gardner and
  • Mohammadreza Zakeri

1 February 2024

Tensions in the measurements of neutron and kaon weak decays, such as of the neutron lifetime, may speak to the existence of new particles and dynamics not present in the Standard Model (SM). In scenarios with dark sectors, particles that couple feeb...

Boltzmann Equation and Its Cosmological Applications

  • Yu-Hang Su,
  • Man-Zhu Zheng and
  • Hong-Hao Zhang

10 June 2025

We review the derivation of the Boltzmann equation and its cosmological applications in this paper. A novel derivation of the Boltzmann equation, especially the collision term, is discussed in detail in the language of quantum field theory without an...

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 symmetry is indu...

We consider a renormalizable extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model endowed by an R and a gauged B − L symmetry. The model incorporates chaotic inflation driven by a quartic potential, associated with the Higgs field which lea...

Primordial Black Holes and a Common Origin of Baryons and Dark Matter

  • Sébastien Clesse

27 December 2021

The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) and the nature of dark matter are two of the most challenging problems in cosmology. We propose a scenario in which the gravitational collapse of large inhomogeneities at the quark-hadron epoch...

The entropy of the observable universe is increasing. Thus, at earlier times the entropy was lower. However, the cosmic microwave background radiation reveals an apparently high entropy universe close to thermal and chemical equilibrium. A two-part s...

In the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, the universe existed in an extremely hot, dense state in which particle interactions occurred not in vacuum but within a thermal medium. Under such conditions, the standard framework of quantum field theory...

28 February 2022

Baryon number violation is a key ingredient of baryogenesis. It has been hypothesized that there could also be a parity-conjugated copy of the standard model particles, called mirror particles. The existence of such a mirror universe has specific tes...
