A scenario of baryogenesis compatible with thermal inflation, and preheating


Most of models of baryogenesis are incompatible with thermal inflation which is the most compelling solution of cosmological moduli problem. We propose a simple model in which the MSSM plus neutrino mass term (LHu)^2 is supplemented by a minimal flaton sector to drive the thermal inflation. Under two very plausible assumptions, this model leads to thermal inflation followed by Affleck-Dine type leptogenesis along the LHu flat direction. The conservation of generated asymmetry in this model is non-trivial since Hubble parameter is negligible at the time of our Affleck-Dine leptogenesis. We demonstrate numerically that preheating does efficiently damp the amplitude of the Affleck-Dine field and that the lepton number is conserved as the result.
