Non-equilibrium Dynamics as Source of Asymmetries in High Energy Physics

Understanding the origin of certain symmetry breaking scenarios in high-energy physics remains an open challenge. Here we argue that, at least in some cases, symmetry violation is an effect of non-equilibrium dynamics that is likely to develop somewhere above the energy scale of electroweak interaction. We also find that, imposing Poincaré symmetry in non-equilibrium field theory, leads to fractalization of space-time continuum via period-doubling transition to chaos. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics.
