Dissipating Cosmic Vortons and Baryogenesis
Grand unified theories can admit cosmic strings with fermion zero modes which result in the string carrying a current and the formation of stable remnants, vortons. We consider theories in which the zero modes do not survive a subsequent phase transition, for example the electroweak transition, resulting in vorton dissipation. The dissipating vortons can create a baryon asymmetry. We calculate ...
متن کاملStable cosmic vortons.
We present solutions in the gauged U(1)×U(1) model of Witten describing vortons-spinning flux loops stabilized against contraction by the centrifugal force. Vortons were heuristically described many years ago; however, the corresponding field theory solutions were not obtained and so the stability issue remained open. We construct explicitly a family of stationary vortons characterized by their...
متن کاملCosmic vortons and particle physics constraints.
We investigate the cosmological consequences of particle physics theories that admit stable loops of superconducting cosmic string vortons. General symmetry breaking schemes are considered, in which strings are formed at one energy scale and subsequently become superconducting in a secondary phase transition at what may be a considerably lower energy scale. We estimate the abundances of the ens...
متن کاملElectroweak Baryogenesis with Cosmic Strings? Electroweak Baryogenesis with Cosmic Strings?
I report on a critical analysis of the scenario of electroweak baryoge-nesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This mechanism relies upon electroweak symmetry restoration in a region around cosmic strings, where sphalerons would be unsuppressed. I discuss the various problems this scenario has to face, presenting a careful computation of the sphaleron rates inside the strings, of t...
متن کاملBrane Dynamics for Treatment of Cosmic Strings and Vortons
This course provides a self contained introduction to the general theory of relativistic brane models, of the category that includes point particle, string, and membrane representations for phenomena that can be considered as being confined to a worldsheet of the corresponding dimension (respectively one, two, and three) in a thin limit approximation. The first part of the course is concerned w...
