Preprint Proposes Baryogenesis Mechanism via CKM Matrix with Minimal Flavor Violation

A new preprint on arXiv, 'Baryogenesis via the CKM Matrix with Minimal Flavor Violation' (arXiv:2608.05269), presents a counterexample to the common claim that Standard Model CP violation is insufficient for baryogenesis. The scenario involves a leptoquark field with minimal flavor violation-preserving interactions, whose decays to Standard Model particles could yield the observed baryon asymmetry in the early universe without requiring time-variation of model parameters. This is a preliminary finding and has not yet been peer reviewed.
