In these lecture notes an introduction is given to some ideas and attempts to understand the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. After the discussion of some basic issues of cosmology and particle theory the scenarios…
In the context of GUT baryogenesis models, a well-known theorem asserts that CPT conservation and the unitarity of S-matrix require that the lowest order contribution that leads to the generation of a non-zero net CP-violation via the decay…
The new source of $CP$-violation in the frames of "charge transport" mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis is investigated. The consideration is based on the assumption that $C$ and $CP$ need not be violated at the same place, and on the…
In the vanilla type-I seesaw leptogenesis scenario, CP violation required to generate the lepton asymmetries in the heavy Majorana neutrino decays stem from complex Dirac-type Yukawa couplings. In this paper we explore the case in which…
The origin of neutrino masses can be simply attributed to a new scalar beyond the Standard Model. We demonstrate that leptogenesis can explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe already in such a minimal framework, where the electroweak…
We present an extension of the minimal split supersymmetry model, which is capable of explaining the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Instead of MSSM we start from NMSSM and split its spectrum in such a way that the low energy theory…
How to account for the matter predominance of our Universe is a fundamental issue at the core of our existence. One condition is CP violation, but the Standard Model falls short by more than $10^{-10}$. Taking cue from a recent result from…
First order phase transitions (FOPT) in the early Universe can be powerful emitters of both relativistic and heavy particles, upon the collision of ultra-relativistic bubble shells. If the particles coupling to the bubble wall have…
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…
A seesaw mechanism is presented in the neutrino sector and a new phase of CP violation ($\alpha$) emerges in the interplay between the type-I and type-III seesaw schemes. This phase is inside the mixing term, and thus it cannot be rotated…
We have shown a new scenario of successful leptogenesis with one $L$ violating coupling and a relative Majorana phase playing the role of $CP$ violation. This is in contrast to the usual consideration of Feynman diagram with at least two…
The seesaw model of heavy and light Majorana neutrinos and its low-energy effective theory are studied, when the number of heavy neutrinos is equal to or less than the number of light lepton generations. We establish a general relationship…
We report a recent attempt to relate $CP$ violation in the electroweak theory with two Higgs doublets to the baryon asymmetry generated at the electroweak phase transition, after surveying the scenario of the electroweak baryogenesis.
We calculate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe resulting from the combination of higher-dimensional Lorentz-noninvariant CPT-odd operators and dimension five operators that induce the majorana mass for neutrinos. The strength of…
Baryogenesis via leptogenesis is investigated in a specific model of light neutrino masses and mixing angles. The latter was proposed on the basis of an assumed complex-extended scaling property of the neutrino Majorana mass matrix $M_\nu$,…
Baryon asymmetry of the Universe is evaluated in the model originally proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 (2009) 051805, where Majorana masses of neutrinos are generated via three-loop diagrams composed of additional scalar bosons including…
In trying to answer the question in the title of my talk, I have argued on ground of naturalness that leptonic CP violation is very likely to exist both in the form of the Kobayashi-Maskawa type and the Majorana type phases. The latter part…
Is the Standard Model Charge-Parity (CP) violation ever enough to generate the observed baryon asymmetry? Yes! We introduce a mechanism of baryogenesis (and dark matter production) that can generate the entire observed baryon asymmetry of…
We consider the generation of a baryon asymmetry in an extension of the Standard Model with two singlet Majorana fermions that are degenerate above the electroweak phase transition. The model can explain neutrino masses as well as the…
The electroweak baryogenesis depends on the profile of the CP-violating bubble wall created at the first order phase transition. We attempt to determine it by solving the coupled equations of motion for the moduli and phases of the two…
