A Solution to the Coincidence Puzzle of Ω_{B} and Ω_{DM}

We show that a class of Affleck--Dine baryogenesis directly relates the observed mass density of baryons, Ω_{B}, to that of dark matter, Ω_{DM}. In this scenario, the ratio of baryon to dark matter mass density is solely determined by the low energy parameters, except for an O(0.1) effective CP-violating phase. We find that Ω_{B}/Ω_{DM}=O(0.1) with reasonable parameters, which lies surprisingly just in the range of observation. This scenario is totally free from the cosmological gravitino problem, and independent of the detailed history of the Universe as long as it satisfies quite weak constraints.

Predictions on the neutrinoless double beta decay from the leptogenesis via the LHu flat direction

If the baryon asymmetry in the present universe is generated by decays of the $L H_u$ flat direction, the observed baryon asymmetry requires the mass of the lightest neutrino to be much smaller than the mass scale indicated from the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. Such a small mass of the lightest neutrino leads to a high predictability on the rate of the neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay. In this letter we show general predictions on the $0νββ$ decay in the leptogenesis via the $LH_u$ flat direction.

Leptogenesis with Almost Degenerate Majorana Neutrinos

We investigate the leptogenesis with almost degenerate neutrinos, in the framework of democratic mass matrix, which naturally explains the large mixing angles for neutrino oscillations as well as quark masses and mixing matrix. We find that the baryon asymmetry in the present universe is explained via the decays of right-handed neutrinos produced nonthermally by the inflaton decay. The model predicts neutrinoless double beta decays accessible in near future experiments.

Investigation of noscale supersymmetry breaking models with a gauged U(1)_{B-L} symmetry

Noscale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking model is investigated in the minimal extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with a gauged U(1)_{B-L} symmetry. We specifically consider a unification-inspired model with the gauge groups SU(3)_{C} \times SU(2)_{L} \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{B-L} \subset SU(5) \times U(1)_{5} for illustration. While the noscale boundary condition at the grand unification scale (M_{G}\simeq 2\times 10^{16} GeV) in the MSSM is not consistent with phenomenological constraints, we show that it is if the gaugino of the U(1)_{5} multiplet is several times heavier than the gauginos of the MSSM. However, if SU(5) \times U(1)_{5} is further embedded in a larger simple group, e.g. SO(10), the noscale boundary condition at M_{G} is inconsistent with phenomenological constraints. If we relax the noscale boundary condition and allow non-zero soft scalar masses for the Higgs fields which spontaneously break the U(1)_{5} symmetry, the resultant spectrum of SUSY particles becomes consistent with all the phenomenological constraints, even if we impose the GUT relation on the gauge coupling and the gaugino mass of the U(1)_{5}. In this case, the SUSY CP problem is also solved, since the condition Bμ=0 at the boundary can be imposed consistently with the electroweak symmetry breaking.

Proton Decay in the Semi-Simple Unification

Semi-simple unification is one of a model which naturally solves two difficulties in the supersymmetric grand unification theory: doublet-triplet splitting problem and suppression of dimension 5 proton decay. We analyzed the dimension 6 proton decay of this model using perturbative analysis at the next-to-leading order. The life time of proton is 3 \times 10^{34} - 10^{35} years for wide range of SUSY breaking parameters, and there is an intriguing possibility of observing proton decay signals in the next-generation water Cherenkov detectors such as Hyper-Kamiokande and TITAND. Several uncertainties in this prediction are also discussed.

Higgsino and Wino Dark Matter from Q-ball Decay in Affleck-Dine Baryogenesis

We claim that the Higgsino-like and wino-like neutralinos can be good dark matter candidates if they are produced by the late time decay of Q-ball, which is generally formed in Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. The late time decays of the Q-balls into these LSP's and subsequent pair annihilations of the LSP's naturally lead to the desired mass density of dark matter. Furthermore, these dark matter can be much more easily detected by the dark-matter search experiments than the standard bino-like dark matter.

Leptogenesis via $LH_{u}$ flat direction with a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$

We study the supersymmetric leptogenesis via $LH_{u}$ flat direction with a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. We find that the resultant baryon asymmetry is enhanced compared with the case without a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. The baryon asymmetry is proportional to the reheating temperature of inflation, but it is independent of the gravitino mass. If high reheating temperatures of inflation $T_{R}\sim 10^{10}\GEV$ are available, the mass of the lightest neutrino, $m_{ν1}\sim 10^{-4}\EV$, is small enough to explain the baryon asymmetry in the present universe. Furthermore, the gravitino mass independence of the produced baryon asymmetry allows us to explain the present baryon asymmetry even in low energy SUSY breaking scenarios such as gauge-mediation models. Our leptogenesis scenario is also very special in the sense that it is completely free from the serious Q-ball formation problem.

Affleck-Dine baryo/leptogenesis with a gauged U(1)(B-L)

We briefly review the present status of Affleck-Dine baryo/leptogenesis scenarios in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in the context of the gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, and show that there is a serious cosmological problem in the Affleck-Dine mechanism. That is, the late decay of the associated large Q-balls leads to the over production of the lightest supersymmetric particles. Then, we point out that the minimal extension of the MSSM by introducing a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry naturally solves this problem. Here, the breaking scale of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ can be determined quite independently of the reheating temperature from the required baryon asymmetry. It is extremely interesting that the obtained scale of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking is well consistent with the one suggested from the seesaw mechanism to explain the recent neutrino-oscillation experiments. We consider that the present scenario provides a new determination of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking scale fully independent of the neutrino masses. We also comment on viability of the present scenario in anomaly-mediated SUSY breaking models.

Reheating-temperature independence of cosmological baryon asymmetry in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis

In this paper we point out that the cosmological baryon asymmetry in our universe is generated almost independently of the reheating temperature $T_R$ in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis and it is determined mainly by the mass of the lightest neutrino, $m_{ν_1}$, in a wide range of the reheating temperature $T_R\simeq 10^5$--$10^{12}$ GeV. The present baryon asymmetry predicts the $m_{ν_1}$ in a narrow region, $m_{ν_1}\simeq (0.3$--$1)\times 10^{-9}$ eV. Such a small mass of the lightest neutrino leads to a high predictability on the mass parameter $m_{ν_e ν_e}$ contributing to the neutrinoless double beta decay. We also propose an explicit model in which such an ultralight neutrino can be naturally obtained.

Affleck-Dine Leptogenesis with an Ultralight Neutrino

We perform a detailed analysis on Affleck-Dine leptogenesis taking into account the thermal effects on the dynamics of the flat direction field $ϕ$. We find that an extremely small mass for the lightest neutrino $ν_1$, ${m_ν}_1\lsim 10^{-8}$ eV, is required to produce enough lepton-number asymmetry to explain the baryon asymmetry in the present universe. We impose here the reheating temperature after inflation $T_R$ to be $T_R\lsim 10^8$ GeV to solve the cosmological gravitino problem. The required value of neutrino mass seems to be very unlikely the case since the recent Superkamiokande experiments suggest the masses of heavier two neutrinos $ν_2$ and $ν_3$ to be in a range of $10^{-1}$--$10^{-3}$ eV. We also propose a model to avoid this difficulty based on the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, where the required neutrino mass can be as large as ${m_ν}_1\simeq 10^{-4}$ eV.
