Key Points

  • This research aims to explore a baryogenesis mechanism using the dynamics of a complex scalar field that breaks U(1) symmetry.
  • Analyzed nonlinear dynamics of a complex scalar field with self-interaction in a radiation-dominated background.
  • Derived coupled equations governing the scalar field's real and imaginary components.
  • Performed numerical computation of the Noether charge density over time.
  • Noether charge density decays according to ρ(t) ∼ t^{-3/2} as time progresses.
  • Photons in a radiation-dominated Universe also scale as nγ(t) ∼ t^{-3/2}.
  • The Noether charge-to-photon ratio approaches a constant in the long-time limit, t → ∞.
  • Asymmetry mechanism functions across various mass scales, adapting interaction strengths accordingly.

Abstract

We investigate a non-supersymmetric mechanism for baryogenesis driven by the nonlinear dynamics of a complex scalar field Φ with a self-interaction term that explicitly breaks the global U (1) symmetry. This self-interaction leads to dynamical generation of asymmetry associated with the U (1) sector in the primordial Universe. The coupled nonlinear dynamical equations governing the real and imaginary components of Φ, evolving in an expanding radiation-dominated background, induce different trajectories for the scalar charge components. Our numerical computation reveals that the resulting Noether charge density decays as (t) t^-3/2 at late times. Since the photon density in a radiation-dominated Universe also scales as n_ (t) t^-3/2, the Noether charge-to-photon ratio (t) = (t) /n_ (t) asymptotically approaches a constant in the long-time limit, t. We find that this asymmetry mechanism can operate across different scales, with lower masses requiring weaker interactions and higher masses demanding stronger couplings for the scalar field.
