Isocurvature fluctuations in Affleck-Dine mechanism and constraints on inflation models

arXiv:0805.4245 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2008/10/017

Abstract

We reconsider the Affleck-Dine mechanism for baryogenesis and show that the baryonic isocurvature fluctuations are generated in many inflation models in supergravity. The inflationary scale and the reheating temperature must satisfy certain constraints to avoid too large baryonic isocurvature fluctuations.
