Multiplicative Conservation of Baryon Number and Baryogenesis
In the canonical seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass, lepton number is only multiplicatively conserved, which enables the important phenomenon of leptogenesis to occur, as an attractive explanation of the present baryon asymmetry of the Universe. A parallel possibility, hitherto unrecognized, also holds for baryon number and baryogenesis. This new idea is shown to be naturally realized in the con...
متن کاملChiral phase transition and baryon number conservation
In the standard R4 embedding of the chiral O(4) model in 3+1 dimensions the winding number is not conserved near the chiral phase transition and thus no longer can be identified with baryon number. In order to reestablish conserved baryon number in effective low-energy models near and above the critical temperature Tc it is argued that insisting in O(N) models on the angular nature of the chira...
متن کاملElectroweak baryon number non-conservation and “topological condensates” in the early Universe
In this paper we focus on the first condition. Non-perturbative electroweak baryogenesis offers the intriguing possibility that topological features of the Standard Model might be (in part) responsible for baryon and lepton number violation in the early Universe [2, 3, 4, 5]. In this talk we argue that electroweak baryogenesis in the early Universe is accompanied by the formation of a “topologi...
متن کاملConstrained Instanton and Baryon Number Non–Conservation at High Energies
The total cross section for baryon number violating processes at high energies is usually parametrized as σtotal ∝ exp( α F (ε)), where ε = √ s/E0, E0 = √ 6πmw/α. In the present paper the third nontrivial term of the expansion F (ε) = −1 + 9 8 ε − 9 16 ε − 9 32 ( mh mw )2 ε log (
متن کاملBaryon number conservation and the formation of disoriented chiral condensates
Conservation of baryon number as topological charge in effective chiral field theories imposes a local constraint on the time evolution of field configurations in the commonly used O(4) model. Possible consequences for the formation of chiral condensates after a quench from random initial configurations are discussed. It is argued that efficient dissipative terms are necessary but not sufficien...
