Title: GUT baryogenesis with primordial black holes

Abstract

In models of baryogenesis based on grand unified theories (GUTs), the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated through the CP and baryon number violating, out-of-equilibrium decays of very massive gauge or Higgs bosons in the very early Universe. Recent constraints on the scale of inflation and the subsequent temperature of reheating, however, have put pressure on many such models. In this paper, we consider the role that primordial black holes may have played in the process of GUT baryogenesis. Through Hawking evaporation, black holes can efficiently generate GUT Higgs or gauge bosons, regardless of the masses of these particles or the temperature of the early Universe. Furthermore, in significant regions of parameter space, the black holes evaporate after the electroweak phase transition, naturally evading the problem of sphaleron washout that is normally encountered in GUT models based on SU(5). We identify a wide range of scenarios in which black holes could facilitate the generation of the baryon asymmetry through the production and decays of GUT bosons.
