Recent experimental data provides evidence for neutrino masses and leads to the possibility of leptonic mixing and CP violation. In this work special attention is dedicated to CP violation in the leptonic sector both at low and at high…
We develop a non-adiabatic perturbation theory for oscillations involving an arbitrary number of neutrino and antineutrino species, including the possibility of lepton number violation which we treat as a small effect. We interpret the…

The extension of the Standard Model by heavy right-handed neutrinos can simultaneously explain the observed neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis. If the mass of the heavy…
A Majorana type of the neutrino mass matrix induces a class of lepton number violating processes. Cross sections of these reactions are given in terms of the neutrino mass matrix element, and a semi-realistic event rate is estimated. These…
In this talk I will present the work that we did in \cite{1}\cite{2}\cite{3}\cite{4}\cite{5} related to observed lepton universality violation by Babar, Belle and LHCb in R($D^{(*)}$) and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ as well as the reported deviation in…
Various new physics models, e.g., theories of compositeness, can accommodate the color singlet excited leptons that interact with the leptons, quarks, leptoquarks, etc. A particular type of excited lepton, which at low energies interacts…
The violation of baryon number is an essential ingredient for baryogenesis - the preferential creation of matter over antimatter - needed to account for the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. However, such a process has yet to be…
We study the baryogenesis via lepton number violation in the model of Anti-GUT. The origin of the baryogenesis is the existence of right-handed Majorana neutrinos which decay in a C, CP and lepton number violation way. The baryon number…
We explore the generation of the baryon asymmetry in an extension of the Standard Model where the lepton number is promoted to a $U(1)_\ell$ gauge symmetry with an associated $Z^\prime$ gauge boson. This is based on a novel electroweak…
We study a simple model where color sextet scalars violate baryon number at tree level but do not give rise to proton decay. In particular, we include one light and two heavy sextets with $\Delta B=2$ baryon number violating interactions…
We examine the constraints on the MNS lepton mixing matrix from the present and future experimental data of the neutrino oscillation and lepton number violation processes. We introduce a graphical representation of the CP violation phases…
We point out two simple but instructive possibilities to construct the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, from which the nearly bi-maximal neutrino mixing with large T violation can naturally emerge. The two lepton mixing scenarios…
A successful baryogenesis theory requires a baryon-minus-lepton number violation if it works before the electroweak phase transition. The baryon-minus-lepton number violation could also exist in some proton decay modes. We propose a model…
R-parity-violating supersymmetry (with a conserved baryon number B) provides a framework for particle physics with lepton number (L) violating interactions. We examine in detail the structure of the most general R-parity-violating…
In this work we study a predictive model based on a partially unified theory possessing the gauge symmetry of the Pati-Salam group, $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times SU(4)_C$ supplemented by a global Peccei-Quinn symmetry, $U(1)_{PQ}$. A…
The cosmological baryon asymmetry is closely related to neutrino properties due to the non-perturbative sphaleron processes in the high-temperature symmetric phase of the standard model. We review some aspects of this connection with…
Baryon number violation appears in many contexts. It is a requirement for baryogenesis and is a consequence of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), which predict nucleon decay. Nucleon decay searches provide the most direct way to test baryon…
In this work, we explore the mixing between neutron ($n$) and elementary neutral particle ($\eta$), which violates both the baryon number ($\mathcal{B}$) and the lepton number ($\mathcal{L}$) by one unit but conserves their difference…
Weak interaction in nuclei represents a well-known venue for testing many of the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model. In particular, neutrinoless double-beta decay offers the possibility to test Beyond Standard Model theories…
