Baryogenesis from Domain Walls in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
read the original abstract
We consider the production of baryon number from collapsing domain walls, and in particular examine the magnitude of CP violation which is required in such schemes. Taking the conventional solution to the domain wall problem in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model as an example, we show that the observed baryon assymmetry of the universe may have been generated, even if the initial {\em explicit} CP violation in the Lagrangian were so small ({\em i.e.} gravitational) that it could never be experimentally detected. This is possible by having the {\em explicit} CP violation affect the way in which the walls collapse, rather than be responsible for the generation of baryon number directly. Net baryon number is created at the domain walls by the spontaneous breaking of CP.

Inverse Electroweak Baryogenesis
The paper proposes inverse electroweak baryogenesis where baryon asymmetry arises from equilibrium sphaleron processes in the presence of a conserved global charge during an inverse phase transition that alters electr...

Electroweak Baryogenesis from Collapsing Domain Walls
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.

Spontaneous Baryogenesis from Axions on Induced Electroweak Walls
An axion-like particle's domain wall or shock wave induces an electroweak phase boundary whose motion creates a local B+L chemical potential that biases active sphalerons to generate net baryon asymmetry.

Baryon Asymmetry from Electroweak-Symmetric Domain Walls
Electroweak-symmetric domain walls produce the observed baryon asymmetry via CP-violating semiclassical forces, transport, sphalerons, and interference between the two wall faces in a singlet-extended Standard Model.

Bounds from D/H on baryogenesis models
Deuterium-to-hydrogen measurements leave most electroweak baryogenesis parameter space unconstrained while imposing stronger exclusions on alternative baryogenesis models.
