abstract
We use large-scale lattice simulations to compute the rate of baryon number violating processes (the sphaleron rate), the Higgs field expectation value, and the critical temperature in the Standard Model across the electroweak phase transition temperature. While there is no true phase transition between the high-temperature symmetric phase and the low-temperature broken phase, the cross-over is sharply defined at $T_c = (159\pm 1)$\,GeV. The sphaleron rate in the symmetric phase ($T> T_c$) is $\Gamma/T^4 = (18\pm 3)\alpha_W^5$, and in the broken phase in the physically interesting temperature range $130\mbox{\,GeV} < T < T_c$ it can be parametrized as $\log(\Gamma/T^4) = (0.83\pm 0.01)T/{\rm GeV} - (147.7\pm 1.9)$. The freeze-out temperature in the early Universe, where the Hubble rate wins over the baryon number violation rate, is $T_* = (131.7\pm 2.3)$\,GeV. These values, beyond being intrinsic properties of the Standard Model, are relevant for e.g. low-scale leptogenesis scenarios.

A leptogenesis framework generates both baryon asymmetry and asymmetric dark matter via heavy Majorana neutrino decays, enabling a TeV-scale seesaw with hierarchical couplings and testable spin-independent DM cross sections above 10 GeV.
Low-scale leptogenesis becomes viable in the neutrino seesaw framework when a first-order electroweak phase transition allows sphalerons to convert lepton asymmetry into baryon asymmetry at temperatures below the Standard Model decoupling point.
Collapsing axion-like domain walls generate the baryon asymmetry by acting as an effective chemical potential through coupling to the electroweak topological term, with the asymmetry produced via sphaleron processes.
A gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry spontaneously broken at multiple scales links SM flavour hierarchies to asymmetric dark matter via leptogenesis and sphaleron redistribution, with DM as bound states of a confining SU(3).
Lepton parity stabilizes a Majorana fermion as freeze-in dark matter produced via right-handed neutrino or Higgs decays, yielding detectable gravitational waves or ΔN_eff depending on scalar couplings.
Updated model-independent BBN and CMB bounds on photophilic ALPs that incorporate rare decays to light hadrons, show extended constraints for multiple reheating temperatures, and flag parameter space that may alleviate tensions in N_eff and deuterium abundance.
Maximally helical primordial U(1)_Y magnetic fields can generate both intergalactic magnetic fields and baryon asymmetry; non-helical fields may work if Higgs dynamics compensate helicity loss to ≲10^{-9-10} precision during electroweak crossover.
Spontaneous wash-in leptogenesis in Type II Seesaw with Majoron pNGB background enables baryon asymmetry generation alongside dark matter cogenesis for specific v_T, v_sigma and m_j ranges.
ULYSSES v3 extends an open-source Python toolkit to numerically solve leptogenesis equations in resonant low-scale and high-scale regimes with updated interfaces and cross-checks.
SO(10)-inspired leptogenesis implies N2-leptogenesis, ruling out inverted neutrino ordering under strict conditions and enabling initial-condition-independent asymmetry in subsets of solutions.
