Generating the observed baryon asymmetry from the inflaton field
We propose a mechanism by which the inflaton can generate baryogenesis, by taking the inflaton to be a complex scalar field with a weakly broken global symmetry, and present a new version of the Affleck–Dine mechanism. The smallness of the breaking is motivated both by technical naturalness and a re...
