We show that all three Sakharov conditions as well as the correct baryon to
entropy ratio are consistently satisfied during the inflationary
epoch. The presence of quantized birefringent inflationary gravitational
waves violate CP and B-L simultaneously, while inflation provides the
sufficient out of equilibrium
condition. We derive a relation between n/s and the gravitational power
spectrum. In addition, we show that this mechanism enjoys a model independent
embedding in Heterotic String Theory as well as an intriguiging connection
to the Green-Schwarz mechanism. Finally, we derive the consistency
relations for inflation including the tensor to scalar ratio and the running of the
spectral index. We show that there is a CMB correction (albeit small)
purely in terms
of the string length and coupling.
