We argue that simpler fermionic contents, responsible for the extension of the standard model with gauged lepton and baryon charges, can be constructed by assuming existence of so-called leptoquarks (j,k) with exotic electric charges…
Dirac neutrinos with lepton-number-violating interactions can give rise to a new leptogenesis mechanism. In its simplest renormalizable realization, based on a gauged B-L symmetry spontaneously broken by four units, the decay of a new…
If the present baryon-asymmetry is due to a Planck or GUT-scale matter asymmetry then baryon- or lepton-number violating processes are constrained by the condition that they do not subsequently erase this asymmetry. We present a revision of…
The symmetry breaking of left right symmetric model around few TeV range permits the existence of massive right handed neutrinos or gauge bosons. In this work the decay of lightest right handed neutrinos in a class of minimal left right…
The difference between baryon number B and lepton number L is the only anomaly-free global symmetry of the Standard Model, easily promoted to a local symmetry by introducing three right-handed neutrinos, which automatically make neutrinos…
In this letter, we quantify the challenge of explaining the baryon asymmetry using initial conditions in a universe that undergoes inflation. Contrary to lore, we find that such an explanation is possible if net $B-L$ number is stored in a…
We investigate the possibility that dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe are generated by the same mechanism, following an idea initially proposed by V.A. Kuzmin and recently discussed by R. Kitano and I. Low. In our model,…
We propose a new class of leptogenesis bounds on the spontaneous symmetry breaking of global lepton number. These models have a generic feature of inducing new lepton number violating interactions, due to the presence of the Majorons. We…
We explore in some detail the hypothesis that the generation of a primordial lepton-antilepton asymmetry (Leptogenesis) early on in the history of the Universe is the root cause for the origin of matter. After explaining the theoretical…
We study a possibility of combining an origin of the $\mu$-term and the baryon and lepton number asymmetry. If we assume that the $\mu$-term is generated through a flat direction of a singlet scalar field, the coherent oscillation of this…
We propose a framework of baryogenesis and leptogenesis that relies on a supercooled confining phase transition (PT) in the early universe. The baryon or lepton asymmetry is sourced by decays of hadrons of the strong dynamics after the PT,…
We investigate the possibility to realize the unification of the Standard Model gauge interactions at the low scale in four dimensions. We find that the fields needed to define a minimal theory where baryon and lepton numbers are local…
We demonstrate here that the mini-split version of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) including R-parity violating couplings naturally provides all the necessary ingredients for a novel baryogenesis mechanism. The baryogenesis…
A novel model of spontaneous Leptogenesis is investigated, where it takes place in the thermal equilibrium due to a background Nambu-Goldstone field in motion. In particular, we identify the Nambu-Goldstone field to be the Majoron which…
We present here a novel and testable mechanism for leptogenesis, which is characterized by a purely thermal generation of lepton asymmetry via scalar decay. Guided by the thermal mass matrix diagonalization in the finite-temperature regime,…
The minimal flipped $SU(5)$ unification with the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass scale generated as a two-loop effect is arguably one of the most constrained models of perturbative baryon and lepton number violation currently on the…
We study the decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) in models with spontaneously broken R-parity. We focus on the two cases that the LSP is either a bino or a neutral singlet lepton. We work out the most important…
Baryogenesis remains an unresolved problem in cosmology, with existing mechanisms facing significant caveats. We show that the effects of primordial black holes (PBHs) on neutrinos produce the lepton asymmetry $\sim 10^{-10}$ which…
A large lepton number asymmetry of $\mathcal{O}(0.1-1)$ at present universe might not only be allowed but also necessary for consistency among cosmological data. We show that, if a sizeable lepton number asymmetry were produced before the…
Leptogenesis is one of the most popular mechanisms to account for the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. A generic feature of leptogenesis is a large separation of scales between the epoch of baryon asymmetry production (sphaleron…
