# Baryogenesis in the paradigm of quintessential inflation

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how baryogenesis can occur within the framework of quintessential inflation, demonstrating that the observed baryon asymmetry can be generated through a model-independent, equilibrium process involving spontaneous baryogenesis and gravitational waves.

## Contribution

It introduces a model-independent approach to baryogenesis in quintessential inflation, showing the feasibility of generating baryon asymmetry without relying on specific baryon number violation mechanisms.

## Key findings

- Baryon asymmetry can be generated successfully in quintessential inflation.
- The framework predicts a high-frequency gravitational wave background.
- Detection prospects of relic gravitational waves are discussed.

## Abstract

We explore the possibility of baryogenesis in the framework of quintessential inflation. We focus on the model independent features of the underlying paradigm and demonstrate that the required baryon asymmetry can successfully be generated in this scenario. To this effect, we use the effective field theory framework with desired terms in the Lagrangian necessary to mimic baryon number violation \textit{\`{a} la} spontaneous baryogenesis which can successfully evade Sakharov's requirement allowing us to generate the observed baryon asymmetry in the equilibrium process. Our estimates are independent of the underlying physical process responsible for baryon number violation. The underlying framework of quintessential inflation essentially includes the presence of kinetic regime after inflation which gives rise to blue spectrum of gravitational wave background at high frequencies. In addition to baryogenesis, we discuss the prospects of detection of relic gravitational wave background, in the future proposed missions, sticking to model independent treatment.
