How does this answer the question about whether assumptions about baryogenesis affect measurements of $H_0$ from the CMB?

Although to be fair, the paper's introduction does give a good overview of the problem and general approaches to its solution.

It does not answer the question but I thought it had good information on the topic. Sorry

# The recent results on Hubble constant measurements

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-10-27)

In recent news there is [this announcement](https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/490/2/1743/5568378)

In the introduction they say:

> Distance measurement discrepancy: a $4.4σ$ tension on the value of $H\_0$

and I understand the discrepancy is with the value derived using the cosmic microwave radiation (CMB). There will be more publications to follow.

These measurements are local, i.e. of the universe as it is now.

By coincidence I was looking up baryogenesis and came upon the [Sakharov condition](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sakharov_condition#targetText=Noun&targetText=(physics)%20Any%20of%20the%20three,interactions%20out%20of%20thermal%20equilibrium) for generating the asymmetry between baryons and antibaryons which must have happened by the time the CMB map solidified.

> Any of the three necessary conditions that a baryon-generating interaction must satisfy to produce matter and antimatter at different rates: (i) baryon number violation; (ii) C-symmetry and CP-symmetry violation; (iii) interactions out of thermal equilibrium.

iii) seems to me to be relevant to a measurement of the Hubble constant using the CMB data because it would affect what is presumed in the standard cosmology :

> [The CMB is also used to determine the Hubble constant](https://resonance.is/improved-accuracy-hubble-constant-suggests-new-physics/), where the temperature is analyzed as a function of frequency – a power spectrum – and a best fit analysis is made to constrain the Hubble constant.

If interactions out of thermal equilibrium are responsible for baryogenesis, maybe the assumptions entering the fit should change, and maybe the discrepancy between the two methods tells something about baryogenesis.

As a particle physicist I am not up to astrophysical calculations. Is anybody familiar with this topic who could say whether this is a possible suggestion?

Edit:added

[This link](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1411.3398.pdf) says that the Sakharov conditions are necessary, and the standard model obeys all three:

> During a first order electroweak phase transition bubbles of the broken vacuum form in an unbroken phase. The expansion of these bubble walls is shown to lead to considerable departure from thermal equilibrium.

Unfortunately, it has been shown that the amount of CP violation coupled with the strength of a first order phase transition is not sufficient to create enough baryon asymmetry in the SM

Surely the standard model must be used in estimating by fits to the CMB the Hubble constant, but not the extra baryogenesis mechanism necessary for the observed asymmetry. These could affect the thermal equilibrium estimates.
