Cosmological baryon and lepton number in the presence of electroweak fermion-number violation.
In the presence of rapid fermion-number violation due to nonperturbative electroweak effects certain relations between the baryon number of the Universe and the lepton numbers of the Universe are predicted. In some cases the electron-neutrino asymmetry is exactly specified in terms of the baryon asymmetry. Without introducing new particles —beyond the usual quarks and leptons —it is necessary t...
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 کاملBaryon Washout, Electroweak Phase Transition, and Perturbation Theory
We analyze the conventional perturbative treatment of sphaleron-induced baryon number washout relevant for electroweak baryogenesis and show that it is not gauge-independent due to the failure of consistently implementing the Nielsen identities order-by-order in perturbation theory. We provide a gauge-independent criterion for baryon number preservation in place of the conventional (gauge-depen...
متن کاملGeneration of baryon inhomogeneities in the electroweak phase transition
It is known that baryon number inhomogeneities may arise as a consequence of electroweak baryogenesis. Their geometry, size, and amplitude depend on the parameters that characterize the baryogenesis mechanism, as well as on those that determine the phase transition dynamics. We investigate analytically and numerically this parametric dependance. We show that in the case of the minimal supersymm...
متن کامل2002 Electroweak Baryon Number Violation
The conditions for baryogenesis in the early universe are well-known (cf. Refs. [1, 2]): 1. C and CP violation, 2. thermal nonequilibrium, 3. violation of baryon number conservation. How realistic are these requirements? Well, noninvariance under the charge conjugation transformation (C) and the combined charge conjugation and parity reflection transformation (CP) have been observed in the labo...
