Abstract
Baryogenesis via leptogenesis provides an appealing mechanism to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Recent refinements in the understanding of the dynamics of leptogenesis include detailed studies of the effects of lepton flavors and of the role possibly played by the lepton asymmetries generated in the decays of the heavier singlet neutrinos . In this talk I present a short review of these recent developments in the theory of leptogenesis.
