Nucleosynthesis as Topological Cascade

Аватар автора
This paper by Boris Kriger presents a novel structural reinterpretation of cosmic nucleosynthesis, viewing the creation of elements as a sequential topological cascade through closed multibaryon configurations. Departing from traditional potential-well models, the author identifies two distinct phases: Phase I (Topological Absorption), where nuclei from hydrogen to iron increase in symmetry and release binding energy, and Phase II (Topological Rearrangement), where heavier elements form through neutron capture without net coherence-energy gains. The study explains the iron peak and the actinide cutoff as natural results of symmetry saturation and structural limits rather than accidental properties of nuclear forces. Kriger addresses the cosmological lithium problem by suggesting that the broken-icosahedral structure of lithium-7 creates a specific energy penalty that conventional models overlook. By recovering known stellar burning pathways and the triple-alpha process as «effective shadows» of this underlying geometry, the text provides a framework for new, falsifiable predictions regarding element abundances and kilonova events. Ultimately, the work integrates the history of baryonic matter into a unified architectural progression based on the Skyrme model and point-group symmetries.
