We discuss the possibility of generation of baryon inhomogeneities in a
quark-gluon plasma phase due to moving Z(3) interfaces. By modeling the
dependence of effective mass of the quarks on the Polyakov loop order
parameter, we study the reflection of quarks from collapsing Z(3) interfaces
and estimate resulting baryon inhomogeneities in the context of the early
universe. We argue that in the context of certain low energy scale inflationary
models, it is possible that large Z(3) walls arise at the end of the reheating
stage. Collapse of such walls could lead to baryon inhomogeneities which may be
separated by large distances near the QCD scale. Importantly, the generation of
these inhomogeneities is insensitive to the order, or even the existence, of
the quark-hadron phase transition. We also briefly discuss the possibility of
formation of quark nuggets in this model, as well as baryon inhomogeneity
generation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, revtex4, more detailed discussion added about
