摘要

If the BL symmetry is gauged with the addition of right-handed neutrinos, the standard model BL current is anomalous with respect to the BL gauge field itself. Then, the anomaly relation implies that the magnetic helicity of the BL gauge field is related to the standard model BL charges, although the whole universe is BL neutral with right-handed neutrinos. Based on this, we propose a new leptogenesis scenario with the gauged BL symmetry as follows. First, the magnetic helicity of the BL gauge field is generated, e.g., by the axion inflation, together with the standard model and right-handed neutrino BL charges, with the net BL charge kept zero. The BL charges in the standard model and right-handed neutrino sectors are then subject to washout effects from the interactions between them. After the washout effects decouple, the BL gauge symmetry is Higgsed and the magnetic helicity of the BL gauge field decays and generates BL charges in the both sector; thanks to the washout effects, we obtain a non-zero BL asymmetry. We show that the baryon asymmetry of the universe can be generated in this scenario, discussing the decay of the magnetic helicity of the BL gauge field and the interactions between the right-handed neutrinos and the standard model particles.
