Anomalous commutators and electroweak baryogenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
Electroweak vacuum transition processes (sphalerons) in the early Universe provide a possible explanation of the baryon asymmetry. Combining this physics with the anomalous commutators of Adler and Boulware and renormalization group invariance, we argue that electroweak baryon number violation also induces a “topological condensate” in the vacuum. QCD sphaleron processes act to distribute the baryon number violation between both left and right handed quarks and induce a spin independent component in this “condensate”.

We examine a recent claim that Debye screening will affect the charge transport mechanism of anomalous electroweak baryogenesis, and show that the effects of gauge charge screening do not affect the baryon number produced during a first order electroweak phase transition.
متن کاملHelical magnetic fields from sphaleron decay and baryogenesis.
Many models of baryogenesis rely on anomalous particle physics processes to give baryon number violation. By numerically evolving the electroweak equations on a lattice, we show that baryogenesis in these models creates helical cosmic magnetic fields, though the helicity created is smaller than earlier analytical estimates. After a transitory period, electroweak dynamics is found to conserve th...
متن کاملElectroweak baryon number non-conservation and “topological condensates” in the early Universe
In this paper we focus on the first condition. Non-perturbative electroweak baryogenesis offers the intriguing possibility that topological features of the Standard Model might be (in part) responsible for baryon and lepton number violation in the early Universe [2, 3, 4, 5]. In this talk we argue that electroweak baryogenesis in the early Universe is accompanied by the formation of a “topologi...

In this paper, an analytic treatment of electroweak phase transition is proposed within the two-Higgs doublet model. This phase transition occurs in one stage and is strongly first order. Therefore, it can be applied to the electroweak baryogenesis scenario, whereas the standard model cannot provide this condition considering the experimental data. Also, we study CP violation which is one of th...
متن کاملElectroweak strings produce baryons.
We propose a new mechanism to generate baryons. Electroweak strings produced at the electroweak phase transition will introduce anomalous currents through interactions of the strings with the background electromagnetic field and through changes in the helicity of the string network. These anomalous currents will produce fluctuations in the baryon and lepton number. We show that in the two-Higgs...
