Matter-antimatter accounting, thermodynamics, and black-hole radiation
We discuss several issues bearing on the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the content of the universe, in particular, the possible role in this of Hawking rad...
Cosmological Production of Baryons
Departures from thermal equilibrium which are likely to occur in an expanding universe allow the production of an appreciable net baryon density by processes which violate baryo...
Mechanisms for cosmological baryon production
General formulas are given for the mean net baryon number produced in the decay of superheavy scalar or vector bosons. These results are used to make rough numerical estimates o...
Unified Gauge Theories and the Baryon Number of the Universe
I suggest that the dominance of matter over antimatter in the present universe is a consequence of baryon-number-nonconserving reactions in the very early fireball. Unified guag...
Baryon number of the universe
We consider the possibility that the observed particle-antiparticle imbalance in the universe is due to baryon-number, $C$, and $\mathrm{CP}$ nonconservation. We make general ob...
