CP violation in cosmology
Abstract
Description
Cosmological implications of asymmetry between particles and antiparticles are reviewed. Three possible mechanisms of CP-violation in cosmology are described. General features of kinetics of generation of cosmological charge asymmetry are discussed in detail. In particular, the cyclic balance condition, which plays the same role in time non-invariant theory as detailed balance does in T-invariant case, is derived. Several scenarios of baryogenesis are described with an emphasis on CP-violation mechanisms. Production of cosmic antimatter and a possibility of its ``living'' in our neighborhood is discussed.
