Baryogenesis in the paradigm of quintessential inflation

Understand

We explore the possibility of baryogenesis in the framework of quintessential inflation.

• We focus on the model independent features of the underlying paradigm and demonstrate that the required baryon asymmetry can successfully be generated in this scenario.
• To this effect, we use the effective field theory framework with desired terms in the Lagrangian necessary to mimic baryon number violation \textit{\`{a} la} spontaneous baryogenesis which can successfully evade Sakharov's requirement allowing us to generate the observed baryon asymmetry in the equilibrium process.
• Our estimates are independent of the underlying physical process responsible for baryon number violation.
