If the inflaton or Ricci scalar is derivatively coupled to the B-L current, the expansion of the universe acts as a chemical potential and splits the energy levels of particles and their anti-particles. The asymmetric Hawking radiation of primordial black holes can thus be used to generate a B-L asymmetry. If dark matter is produced by the same mechanism, the coincidence between the mass density of visible and dark matter can be naturally explained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-05-12T20:13:06.000Z", "comment": "11 pages, 3 figures. mistake corrected.
