String-Scale Baryogenesis
Baryogenesis scenarios at the string scale are considered. The observed baryon to entropy ratio, nB/s ∼ 10−10, can be explained in these scenarios. ∗ e-mail address : [email protected], JSPS research fellow. † e-mail address : [email protected]
متن کاملString-Mediated Electroweak Baryogenesis: A Critical Analysis
We study the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This idea relies upon electroweak symmetry being restored in a region around the core of the topological defect so that, within this region, the rate of baryon number violation is enhanced. We compute numerically how effectively baryon number is violated along a cosmic string, at an epoch when the b...
متن کاملChallenges for String Gas Cosmology
In spite of the phenomenological successes of the inflationary universe scenario, the current realizations of inflation making use of scalar fields lead to serious conceptual problems which are reviewed in this lecture. String theory may provide an avenue towards addressing these problems. One particular approach to combining string theory and cosmology is String Gas Cosmology. The basic princi...
متن کاملCosmological String Gas on Orbifolds
It has long been known that strings wound around incontractible cycles can play a vital role in cosmology. In particular, in a spacetime with toroidal spatial hypersurfaces, the dynamics of the winding modes may help yield three large spatial dimensions. However, toroidal compactifications are phenomenologically unrealistic. In this paper we therefore take a first step toward extending these co...
متن کاملString Gas Cosmology and Structure Formation
It has recently been shown that a Hagedorn phase of string gas cosmology may provide a causal mechanism for generating a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of scalar metric fluctuations, without the need for an intervening period of de Sitter expansion. A distinctive signature of this structure formation scenario would be a slight blue tilt of the spectrum of gravitational waves. In this paper we ...
