On the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in self-gravitating systems at ultra-high temperatures
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown, that self-gravitating systems can be classified by a dimensionless constant positive number κ = ST/E, which can be determined from the (global) values for the entropy, temperature and (total) energy. The Kerr-Newman black hole family is characterized by κ in the range 0−1/2, depending on the dimensionless ratios of angular momentum and charge squared to the horizon area, J/A and Q/A. By analyzing the most general case of an ultra-relativistic ideal gas with non-zero chemical potential it is shown, that κ is an important parameter which determines the (local) thermodynamic properties of an ultra-relativistic gas. κ only depends on the chemical potential per temperature u = μ/T and on the ratio of bosonic to fermionic degrees of freedom rF = fB/fF . A gas with zero chemical potential has κ = 4/3. Whenever κ < 4/3 the gas must acquire a non-zero chemical potential. This non-zero chemical potential induces a natural matter-antimatter asymmetry, whenever microscopic statistical thermodynamics can be applied. The recently discovered holographic solution describes a compact self gravitating black hole type object with an interior, well defined matter state. One can associate a local possibly observer-dependent value of κ to the interior matter, which lies in the range 2/3− 1 (for the uncharged case). This finding is used to construct an alternative scenario of baryogenesis in the context of the holographic solution, based on quasi-equilibrium thermodynamics.

The Origin of the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry
Although the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry remains unknown, continuing advances in theory and improved experimental limits have ruled out some scenarios for baryogenesis, for example the sphaleron baryogenesis at the electroweak phase transition in the standard model. At the same time, the success of cosmological inflation and the prospects for discovering supersymmetry at the LHC have ...
متن کاملThe Neutrino Mass Window for Baryogenesis
Interactions of heavy Majorana neutrinos in the thermal phase of the early universe may be the origin of the cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry. This mechanism of baryogenesis implies stringent constraints on light and heavy Majorana neutrino masses. We derive an improved upper bound on the CP asymmetry in heavy neutrino decays which, together with the kinetic equations, yields an upper b...
متن کاملElectroweak phase transition in the early universe and Baryogenesis
In the Standard Model, it is generally accepted that elementary particles get their masses via the Higgs mechanism, which involves a phase transition from the symmetric phase at higher temperatures (close to the Big Bang) to a phase in which the symmetry has been spontaneously broken. One of the outstanding problems in particle physics is to explain the origin of the observed matter-antimatter ...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملPrimordial Antimatter in the Contemporary Universe
In some baryogenesis scenarios, the universe acquires a non-vanishing average baryonic charge, but the baryon to photon ratio is not spatially constant and can be even negative in some space regions. This allows for existence of lumps of antimatter in our neighborhood and the possibility that very compact antimatter objects make a part of cosmological dark matter. Here I discuss the peculiar si...
