Electroweak Baryogenesis from a Classical Force
read the original abstract
We describe a new effect which produces baryons at a first order electroweak phase transition. It operates when there is a CP-violating field present on propagating bubble walls. The novel aspect is that it involves a purely classical force, which alters the motion of particles across the wall and through diffusion creates a chiral asymmetry in front of the wall. We develop a technique for computing the baryon asymmetry using the Boltzmann equation, and a fluid approximation which allows us to model strong scattering effects. The final formula for the baryon asymmetry has a remarkably simple form.

Inverse Electroweak Baryogenesis
The paper proposes inverse electroweak baryogenesis where baryon asymmetry arises from equilibrium sphaleron processes in the presence of a conserved global charge during an inverse phase transition that alters electr...

Spontaneous Baryogenesis from Axions on Induced Electroweak Walls
An axion-like particle's domain wall or shock wave induces an electroweak phase boundary whose motion creates a local B+L chemical potential that biases active sphalerons to generate net baryon asymmetry.
