摘要：

We consider the evolution of baryon number B in the early universe under the influence of rapid sphaleron interactions and show that B will remain nonzero at all times even in the case of B - L = 0. This result arises due to thermal Yukawa interactions that cause nonidentical dispersion relations (thermal masses) for different lepton families. We point out the relevance of our result to the Affleck-Dine type baryogenesis.
