Baryogenesis in non-extensive Tsallis Cosmology

Abstract

Non-extensive Tsallis thermostatistics is a widespread paradigm to describe large-scale gravitational systems. In this work we use Tsallis Cosmology to study thermodynamic gravity and derive modified Friedmann equations. We show that corrections induced by non-extensivity affect the Hubble function evolution during the radiation-dominated epoch. In turn, this leads to non-trivial modifications of the mass density and pressure content of the Universe, which provide a viable mechanism allowing for baryogenesis, even in the presence of the standard interaction between the Ricci scalar and baryon current. By demanding consistency with current observational bounds on baryogenesis, we constrain Tsallis δ parameter to be |δ−1|≃10−3. Based on the recently established connection between Tsallis thermostatistics and the quantum gravitational generalization of the uncertainty principle at Planck scale (GUP), we finally show that this bound is in agreement with the estimation of the GUP parameter predicted by many quantum gravity models.
