Assessing perturbativity and vacuum stability in high-scale leptogenesis

Abstract We consider the requirements that all coupling constants remain perturbative and the electroweak vacuum metastable up to the Planck scale in high-scale thermal leptogenesis, in the context of a type-I seesaw mechanism. We find a large region of the model parameter space that satisfies these...

description Abstract We consider the requirements that all coupling constants remain perturbative and the electroweak vacuum metastable up to the Planck scale in high-scale thermal leptogenesis, in the context of a type-I seesaw mechanism. We find a large region of the model parameter space that satisfies these conditions in combination with producing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We demonstrate these conditions require Tr[Y N † Y N ] ≲ 0.66 on the neutrino Yukawa matrix. We also investigate this scenario in the presence of a large number N F of coloured Majorana octet fermions in order to make quantum chromodynamics asymptotically safe in the ultraviolet.
