The paper investigates the mechanism of gravitational baryogenesis for generating baryon asymmetry in the early Universe. It is found that using a higher-order generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) can break the thermal equilibrium of the Universe and produce baryon asymmetry. The results of the study satisfy Sakharov's conditions, demonstrating the feasibility of explaining baryon asymmetry within the framework of higher-order GUP.
The gravitational baryogenesis plays an important role in the study of baryon asymmetry. However, the original mechanism of gravitational baryogenesis in the radiation-dominated era leads to the asymmetry factor eta equal to zero, which indicates this mechanism may not generate a sufficient baryon asymmetry in the early Universe. In this paper, we investigate the gravitational baryogenesis for the generation of baryon asymmetry in the early Universe by using a new higher-order generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). It is demonstrated that the entropy and the Friedman equation of the Universe deviate from the original cases due to the effect of the higher-order GUP. Those modifications break the thermal equilibrium of the Universe, and in turn produce a non-zero asymmetry factor eta. In particular, our results satisfy all of Sakharov's conditions, which indicates that the scheme of explaining baryon asymmetry in the framework of higher-order GUP is feasible. In addition, combining our theoretical results with the observational data, we constraint the GUP parameter beta(0), whose bound is between 8.4 x 10(10) similar to 1.1 x 10(13).
