Review text

A symmetric birth and death stochastic process on the non-negative integers \(x \in \mathbb Z_+\) with polynomial rates \(x^{\alpha}\) \(\alpha \in [1; 2]; x \neq 0\), is studied. The process moves slowly and spends more time in the neighborhood of the state 0. The convergence of the scaled process to a solution of stochastic differential equation without drift is proven. Furthermore, in the context of matter-antimatter balance, the resulting diffusion process reveals that when the antimatter proportion approaches zero, it will persist at that level indefinitely. This may explain the scarcity of antimatter in the universe.
