Affleck-Dine baryogenesis in the local domain

Abstract

For Affleck-Dine baryogenesis to proceed, there must have been two types of phase transitions. One is the destabilized-stabilized phase transition of the flat direction, which is in general induced by the Hubble parameter. The other is the phase transition related to the A-term, which induces the misalignment of the relative phase of the flat direction. In the conventional Affleck-Dine baryogenesis they are supposed to start almost simultaneously. Of course these phase transitions can take place separately, but the latter must not be later than the former because the phase transition of the A-term can not produce any baryon number when there is no condensate of the relative charge. In this paper we try to construct models where the original idea of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis is realized in a different way. We show examples in which the local domain of the false vacuum with the required condensate is formed after inflation and collapses in a safe way so that the domain wall problem is avoided. We also show examples where the phase transition of the A-term starts before the decay of the condensate. As in the conventional Affleck-Dine mechanism, the phase transition of the A-term produces baryon number in the local domain of the condensate. We construct scenarios where our mechanism produces sufficient baryon asymmetry of the Universe.
