A spectator scalar field coupled to the inflaton and to spacetime curvature yields a first-order correction to the baryon asymmetry in spontaneous baryogenesis, potentially enhancing it by orders of magnitude for small coupling g.

abstract
We discuss the interplay between dark matter, leptogenesis and a new gauge boson $Z^\prime$ in the $B-L$ model. A fermion dark matter $\chi$ carrying $U(1)_{B-L}$ charge is introduced to the model but not coupling with other particles. We consider the freeze-out and freeze-in mechanisms, and obtain the correct relic density respectively. We have scanned the feasible parameter space and found that the dark matter direct detection experiments imposed the most stringent constraints on the parameter space. The constraint on the parameter space places a limit on the mass of dark matter with $m_{\chi} \approx 1/2 M_{Z'}$ within a narrow region in the case of freeze-out scenario, and we can obtain the right baryon asymmetry result in the case of $m_{\chi}\subset[654$ GeV, 664 GeV]. For the freeze-in scenario, we have a much broader parameter space for $m_{\chi}$ and $M_{Z^\prime}$ but $g_{BL}$ is restricted at $10^{-5}$ level for $Q=0.1$. In both scenarios, $g_{BL}-M_{Z^\prime}$ is limited within a narrow region by the dark matter relic density, direct detection and baryon asymmetry constraints.

Impact of a complex scalar spectator field on baryon asymmetry within spontaneous baryogenesis
A spectator scalar field coupled to the inflaton and to spacetime curvature yields a first-order correction to the baryon asymmetry in spontaneous baryogenesis, potentially enhancing it by orders of magnitude for small coupling g.
