Title: Leptogenesis from spontaneous symmetry breaking during inflation

Abstract

Symmetry breaking in the Higgs field via a non-minimal coupling to gravity or higher-dimensional interactions with the inflaton can lead to condensation at a large vacuum expectation value (VEV) during inflation. After inflation is over, the Higgs field must relax to the minimum of its effective potential, creating an era in which the CPT is effectively broken by the time-depended VEV. We show that the matter-antimatter asymmetry can be generated during this relaxation epoch.

Stochastic evolution of scalar fields with continuous symmetries during inflation

Journal Article Adshead, Peter ; Pearce, Lauren ; Shelton, Jessie ; ... - Physical Review D

During inflation, scalar fields with masses less than the Hubble scale acquire vacuum expectation values (VEVs) via stochastic processes driven by quantum fluctuations. For nearly massless spectator scalars transforming nontrivially under a continuous symmetry group, we demonstrate that the evolution of the VEV depends on the dimensionality of the scalar field space. Fields in larger representations both attain larger vacuum expectation values and converge more rapidly to equilibrium. We present an argument demonstrating how this higher-dimensional evolution can be obtained in unitary gauge for fields transforming under local symmetries with a mass gap that is small compared to the Hubblemore »« less

Baryogenesis via gravitational spontaneous symmetry breaking

Journal Article Qiuyue, ; Sakstein, Jeremy ; Trodden, Mark - Physical Review. D.

We study baryogenesis in effective field theories where a U(1)_B–L-charged scalar couples to gravity via curvature invariants. We analyze the general possibilities in such models, noting the relationships between some of them and existing models, such as Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. We then identify a novel mechanism in which U(1)_B–L can be broken by couplings to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant during inflation and reheating. Using analytic methods, we demonstrate that this mechanism provides a new way to dynamically generate the net matter-antimatter asymmetry observed today and verify this numerically.

Leptogenesis from Gravity Waves in Models of Inflation

Journal Article Alexander, Stephon H. S. ; Peskin, Michael E ; Sheikh-Jabbari, M M - Physical Review Letters

We present a new mechanism for creating the observed cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry which satisfies all three Sakharov conditions from one common thread, gravitational waves. We generate lepton number through the gravitational anomaly in the lepton number current. The source term comes from elliptically polarized gravity waves that are produced during inflation if the inflaton field contains a CP-odd component. The amount of matter asymmetry generated in our model can be of realistic size for the parameters within the range of some inflationary scenarios and grand unified theories.

Analytic description of primordial black hole formation from scalar field fragmentation

Journal Article Cotner, Eric ; Kusenko, Alexander ; Sasaki, Misao ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We report that primordial black hole (PBH) formation is a more generic phenomenon than was once thought. The dynamics of a scalar field in inflationary universe can produce PBHs under mild assumptions regarding the scalar potential. In the early universe, light scalar fields develop large expectation values during inflation and subsequently relax to the minimum of the effective potential at a later time. During the relaxation process, an initially homogeneous scalar condensate can fragment into lumps via an instability similar to the gravitational (Jeans) instability, where the scalar self-interactions, rather than gravity, play the leading role. The fragmentation of themore »« less

Superstring-inspired particle cosmology: inflation, neutrino masses, leptogenesis, dark matter & the SUSY scale

Journal Article Ellis, John ; Garcia, Marcos A. G. ; Nagata, Natsumi ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We develop a string-inspired model for particle cosmology, based on a flipped SU(5)×U(1) gauge group formulated in a no-scale supergravity framework. The model realizes Starobinsky-like inflation, which we assume to be followed by strong reheating, with the GUT symmetry being broken subsequently by a light ‘flaton’ field whose decay generates a second stage of reheating. We discuss the production of gravitinos and the non-thermal contribution made by their decays to the density of cold dark matter, which is assumed to be provided by the lightest neutralino. We also discuss the masses of light and heavy neutrinos and leptogenesis. As discussedmore »« less
