Grand unification and cosmology

  • 1. CERN, Geneva

Description

Four topics are treated, wherein the cosmology-GUT interface seems particularly active. The first is fermion spectroscopy; second, baryon number generation in grand unified theories; third, dissipative processes very early in the Universe, due to the relatively long mean free times of elementary particles possibly providing forms of viscosity and thermal conductivity; fourth, the cosmological density of grand unified monopoles. Conclusions refer to a flourishing cosmic connection between grand unification and cosmology
