The first question to answer is whether the SM can account for this asymmetry. Qualitatively, it complies with Sakharov’s conditions. The C and CP symmetries and the baryon number are violated by weak interactions. The violation of the C symmetry relies on the chiral structure of the SU(2)L gauge group, with the weak current given by the sum of a vector component (odd under C) and an axial one (even under C)[13]. The CP violation is related to the presence of a physical phase in the Lagrangian, the δCKM phase in the Cabibbo- Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix [56]. Baryon number is conserved in the SM at the perturbative level, however non-perturbative effects violate the sum of the baryon plus lepton numbers B + L, while conserving B L [230–232]. Indeed, the ground state − of an SU(N) gauge theory is not unique, but is composed by an infinite series of vacua, 60 The natural (simple) way Complete the SM field pattern with right-handed neutrinos Figure from S.
