Baryogenesis from the amplification of vacuum fluctuations during inflation
We propose that the baryon asymmetry of the Universe may originate from the
amplification of quantum fluctuations of a light complex scalar field during
inflation. CP-violation is sourced by complex mass terms, which are smaller
than the Hubble rate, as well as non-standard kinetic terms. We find that, when
assuming 60 e-folds of inflation, an asymmetry in accordance with observation
can result for models where the energy scale of inflation is of the order of
10^16 GeV. Lower scales may be achieved when assuming substantially larger
amounts of e-folds.Comment: 18 page
Table of integrals, series, and products
The eighth edition of the classic Gradshteyn and Ryzhik is an updated completely revised edition of what is acknowledged universally by mathematical and applied science users as the key reference work concerning the integrals and special functions. The book is valued by users of previous editions of the work both for its comprehensive coverage of integrals and special functions, and also for its accuracy and valuable updates. Since the first edition, published in 1965, the mathematical content of this book has significantly increased due to the addition of new material, though the size of the book has remained almost unchanged. The new 8th edition contains entirely new results and amendments to the auxiliary conditions that accompany integrals and wherever possible most entries contain valuable references to their source.The Table of Integrals, Series, and Products is the essential reference for integrals in the English language. Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, rely on it when identifying and subsequently solving extremely complex problems. Since publication of the first English-language edition in 1965, it has been thoroughly revised and enlarged on a regular basis, with substantial additions and, where necessary, existing entries corrected or revised. The seventh edition includes a fully searchable CD-Rom.- Fully searchable CD that puts information at your fingertips included with text- Most
