abstract

We present a new mechanism for creating the observed cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry which satisfies all three Sakharov conditions from one common thread, gravitational waves. We generate lepton number through the gravitational anomaly in the lepton number current. The source term comes from elliptically polarizated gravity waves that are produced during inflation if the inflaton field contains a CP-odd component. In simple inflationary scenarios, the generated matter asymmetry is very small. We describe some special conditions in which our mechanism can give a matter asymmetry of realistic size.

Topological Leptogenesis

hep-ph · 2024-12-31 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Proposes topological leptogenesis where a new gapped topological order sector cancels the SM B-L anomaly and BSM dark matter consists of decaying line/surface defects with anyon charges.

Gravitational Wave Birefringence from Fuzzy Dark Matter

gr-qc · 2024-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Fuzzy dark matter induces frequency-dependent amplitude birefringence in gravitational waves with periodic time modulation set by the scalar mass, but no velocity birefringence.

Transient Parity Violation during Inflation: Implications for PTA Gravitational Waves

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A transient parity-violating phase during inflation generates a robust blue-tilted (n_T ≃ 2) primordial gravitational wave spectrum at small scales with nearly maximal helicity coherence and linear polarization, offering a cosmological template for PTA data distinct from astrophysical sources.
