The authors' main claim We find that accounting for non-perturbative chirality-breaking transitions due to strong sphalerons reduces the baryonic asymmetry by the factor $(m_t/\pi T)^2$ or $\alpha_W$, provided those processes are in thermal equilibrium.

We analyze the spontaneous baryogenesis and charge transport mechanisms suggested by Cohen, Kaplan and Nelson for baryon asymmetry generation in extended versions of electroweak theory. We find that accounting for non-perturbative chirality-breaking transitions due to strong sphalerons reduces the baryonic asymmetry by the factor $(m_t/\pi T)^2$ or $\alpha_W$, provided those processes are in thermal equilibrium.

In the conventional picture of EWBG, one requires a first-order electroweak phase transition, a CP-violating source localized around the bubble wall, and sufficiently slow wall motion so that the generated chiral or charge asymmetry can diffuse into the symmetric phase and be converted into baryon asymmetry by sphaleron processes [ref] (see also [ref] for alternative baryogenesis mechanisms based on the EWPT).
