We study CP violation in the lepton sector of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with three generations of massive singlet neutrinos with Yukawa couplings $Y_\nu$ to lepton doublets, in a minimal seesaw model for light…
The tiny neutrino masses can be explained naturally by extending the standard model with right-handed Majorana neutrinos in low-scale seesaw mechanism, and the CP violation effect induced by Majorana phase is interesting and worth studying…
The link between low-energy CP violation and leptogenesis became more accessible with the understanding of flavor effects. However, a definite well-motivated model where such a link occurs was still lacking. Adjoint SU(5) is a simple grand…
I present here a concise summary of the preprint arXiv:0707.3024, written in collaboration with A. Anisimov and P. Di Bari. There we discuss leptogenesis when {\em CP} violation stems exlusively from the Dirac phase in the PMNS mixing…
The scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis is reviewed in models involving heavy Majorana neutrinos. The various mechanisms of CP violation occurring in the out-of-equilibrium lepton-number-violating decays of heavy Majorana…
We consider a version of the low-scale type I seesaw mechanism for generating small neutrino masses, as an alternative to the standard seesaw scenario. It involves two right-handed (RH) neutrinos $\nu_{1R}$ and $\nu_{2R}$ having a Majorana…
The seesaw mechanism to derive the light masses of left-handed neutrinos using heavy masses of right-handed neutrinos gives rise to a connection between low-energy measurables and GUT-scale mechanism. We expresses the neutrino mixing angles…

The problem of CP conservation and CP violation for two heavy neutrinos production in $e^+e^-$ interaction is considered. Very convenient way of parametrization of the neutrino mass matrix, from which necessary and sufficient condition for…
In the framework of the left-right symmetric model the CP-parity violation has been studied in heavy Majorana neutrino decays $N\rightarrow e^{\mp} \mu^{\pm} n$. The numerical estimates of CP-asymmetry for different masses of neutrino and…
We point out that, in a class of SO(10) models with matter fields in 16 and 10 representations and type II realization of the seesaw mechanism, the light neutrino masses and the CP asymmetry needed for leptogenesis are controlled by one and…
Within the extension of MSSM by two right handed neutrinos, which masses are degenerate at tree level, we address the issue of leptogenesis. Investigating the quantum corrections in details, we show that the lepton asymmetry is induced at…
We discuss the question of CP-violation in the effective Hamiltonian approach in models of leptogenesis through heavy right handed neutrino decays. We first formulate the problem in four component notation and then point out that before the…
A non-supersymmetric renormalizable $SO(10)$ model, with CP invariant Yukawa sector consisting of Lorentz scalars in $10$ and $\overline{126}$ dimensional representations, is proposed. The elemental Yukawa couplings are real due to CP…
In this work we propose an extension to the Standard Model in which we consider the model 2HDM type-III plus massive neutrinos and the horizontal flavor symmetry $S_{3}$ $(\nu$2HDM$\otimes S_3)$. In the above framework and with the explicit…
Several topics on CP violation in the lepton sector are reviewed. A few theoretical aspects concerning neutrino masses, leptonic mixing, and CP violation will be covered, with special emphasis on seesaw models. A discussion is provided on…
We extend to the highly degenerate case a recent approach for analyzing the sources of CP violation in baryogenesis models with quasi-degenerate neutrinos. In this approach an expansion of the resummed propagator around the poles is plugged…
We consider a type-I seesaw framework with a flavour symmetry from the series of non-abelian groups $\Delta (3 n^2)$ and $\Delta (6 n^2)$ and a CP symmetry. Breaking these symmetries non-trivially results in the right-handed neutrinos being…
Some models of leptogenesis involve a nearly-degenerate pair of heavy Majorana neutrinos $N_{1,2}$ whose masses can be small, $O({\rm GeV})$. There can be heavy-light neutrino mixing parametrized by $|B_{\ell N}|^2 = 10^{-5}$, which leads…
We investigate the role of leptons in electroweak baryogenesis by studying a relatively simple framework inspired by effective field theory that satisfies all Sakharov conditions. In particular, we study the effectiveness of CP-violating…
