Baryogenesis and thermal history after inflation

TL;DR

This paper introduces the concept of baryogenesis, discusses its connection to the universe's thermal history after inflation, and explores recent developments in understanding initial conditions for baryogenesis within inflationary models.

Contribution

It provides an accessible overview of baryogenesis and presents recent insights into initial conditions in inflationary frameworks.

Findings

Clarifies the basic principles of baryogenesis.

Highlights recent topics related to initial conditions after inflation.

Provides an introductory perspective for non-experts.

Abstract

The basic idea of baryogenesis is lectured to introduce non-experts to this subject. Some recent topics, necessarily subjective in view of short time limitation, are also presented to show how the initial condition for baryogenesis is realized in the new framework of inflation.
