Baryogenesis in Models with a Low Quantum Gravity Scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
We make generic remarks about baryogenesis in models where the scale Ms of quantum gravity is much below the Planck scale. These correspond to M-theory vacua with a large volume for the internal space. Baryogenesis is a challenge, particularly for Ms <∼ 105 GeV, because there is an upper bound on the reheat temperature of the Universe, and because certain baryon number violating operators must be suppressed. We discuss these constraints for different values of Ms, and illustrate with a toy model the possibility of using horizontal family symmetries to circumvent them.

Baryogenesis from Gravitational Decay of TeV-Particles in Theories with Low Scale Gravity
In models with the fundamental gravity scale in the TeV range, early cosmology is quite different from the standard picture, because the universe must have arisen at a much lower temperature and the electroweak symmetry was probably never restored. In this context, baryogenesis appears to be problematic: if the involved physics is essentially that of the Standard Model, “conventional” non-conse...
متن کاملDynamics of a large extra dimension inspired hybrid inflation model
In low scale quantum gravity scenarios the fundamental scale of nature can be as low as 1 TeV, in order to address the naturalness of the electroweak scale. A number of difficulties arise in constructing specific models: stabilization of the radius of the extra dimensions, avoidance of overproduction of Kaluza-Klein modes, achieving successful baryogenesis and production of a close to scale-inv...
متن کاملBaryogenesis with four-fermion operators in low-scale models
We describe a nonstandard proposal for baryogenesis in models with a low (O(10− 100)TeV) fundamental scale. The scenario has Standard Model field content and enhanced baryon number violating operators deriving from time-dependent fermion localization in an extra dimension. The CKM matrix provides sufficient CP violation. The major constraints are the low reheating temperature and rate of pertur...
متن کاملCosmological Charge Asymmetry and Rare Processes in Particle Physics
Two scenarios of low temperature baryogenesis in theories with TeV scale gravity are discussed. It is argued that strong gravity at TeV energies is very favorable for baryogenesis. In both scenarios the proton decay is either absent or suppressed far below existing bounds. On the other hand, neutronantineutron oscillations are at the verge of discovery. Some other rare decays with non-conservat...
متن کاملSimulation of Quantum Field Theory and Gravity in Superfluid He
Superfluid phases of 3He are quantuim liquids with the interacting fermionic and bosonic fields. In many respects they can simulate the interacting quantum fields in the phyiscal vacuum. One can observe analogs of such phenomena as axial anomaly, vacuum polarization, zero-charge effect, fermionic charge of the vacuum, baryogenesis, ergoregion, vacuum instability, etc. We discuss some topics on ...
