Baryogenesis in f(P) gravity
In this work, we investigate gravitational baryogenesis in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity to understand the applicability of this class of modified gravity in addressing the baryon asymmetry of the universe. For the analysis, we set [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the model parameter. We found that in [Formula: see text] gravity, the CP-violating interaction acquires a modification through the addition of the nontopological cubic term [Formula: see text] in addition to the Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] and the mathematical expression of the baryon-to-entropy ratio depends not only on the time derivative of [Formula: see text] but also the time derivative of [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we also investigate the consequences of a more complete and generalized CP-violating interaction proportional to [Formula: see text] instead of [Formula: see text] in addressing the baryon asymmetry of the universe. For this type of interaction, we report that the baryon-to-entropy ratio is proportional to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We report that for both of these cases, rational values of [Formula: see text] generate acceptable baryon-to-entropy ratios compatible with observations.
