We study the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This idea relies upon electroweak symmetry being restored in a region around the core of the topological defect so that, within this region, the rate of baryon number violation is enhanced. We compute numerically how effectively baryon number is violated along a cosmic string, at an epoch when the baryon number violation rate elsewhere is negligible. We show that B-violation along nonsuperconducting strings is quite inefficient. When proper accounting is taken of the velocity dependence of the baryon number production by strings, it proves too small to explain the observed abundance by at least ten orders of magnitude, whether the strings are in the friction dominated or the scaling regime.

Feebly-Interacting Peccei-Quinn Model
A feebly-interacting PQ scalar with large wave-function renormalization can generate a large axion decay constant while keeping all mass scales near the TeV scale, predicting a light PQ Higgs and new dark matter scenarios.

DW-genesis: baryon number from domain wall network collapse
Collapsing axionic domain walls can produce the baryon asymmetry via spontaneous baryogenesis, with a maximum yield set by the annihilation temperature, but minimal post-inflationary realisations suffer a suppression ...

Revisiting Scattering Enhancement from the Aharonov-Bohm Effect
The paper claims that with the correct multi-valued boundary conditions, the differential cross-section for charged particles scattering off an Aharonov-Bohm cosmic string is zero, eliminating the proposed baryogenesi...
