Baryogenesis via dark matter-induced symmetry breaking in the early Universe
We put forward a new proposal for generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe by making use of the dynamics of a U(1) scalar field coupled to dark matter. High dark matter densities cause the U(1) symmetry to break spontaneously so that the field acquires a large vacuum expectation value. The sy...
