CPT Violation, Mirror World and Implications for Baryon Asymmetry

Abstract

We propose a novel model in which the Universe is created as a pair of coordinate-reversed counterparts, forming a globally CPT-symmetric system that permits local CPT violations within each sector. This framework naturally introduces a mirror universe with opposite chiralities and reversed microscopic time coordinates, providing a geometric interpretation of time reversal without relying on initial-final state interchange. We investigate the consequences of local CPT violation in each universe, which induces a mass difference between the real inflaton and anti-inflaton fields. Such an asymmetry can modify reheating temperatures and naturally generate the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in both universes.
