Extending the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos provides a minimal explanation for both light neutrino masses (through the type-I seesaw mechanism) and the baryon asymmetry of our universe (through leptogenesis). We map here for…
We consider a restricted Type-I seesaw scenario with four texture zeros in the neutrino Yukawa matrix, in the weak basis where both the charged-lepton Yukawa matrix and the Majorana mass matrix for right-handed neutrinos are diagonal and…
We investigate a minimal extension of the Leptogenesis framework that simultaneously explains the observed baryon asymmetry and dark matter (DM) abundance through the decay of a heavy Majorana neutrino. In this scenario, CP violation arises…
We analyze the most general version of the supersymmetric minimal see-saw model with only two right-chiral neutrinos which are degenerate in masses at the scale of Grand Unification. We study the renormalization effects that give rise to…
We revisit our previous model proposed in Ref. \cite{Okada:2013iba}, in which lepton masses except the tauon mass are generated at the one-loop level in a TeV scale physics. Although in the previous work, rather large Yukawa couplings…
Leptogenesis may be induced by the mixing of extra Higgs doublets with experimentally accessible masses. This mechanism relies on diagrammatic cuts that are kinematically forbidden in the vacuum but contribute at finite temperature. A…
We consider leptogenesis in scenarios with many neutrino singlets. We find that the lower bound for the reheating temperature can be significantly relaxed with respect to the hierarchical three neutrino case. We further argue that the upper…
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…
We study the scale at which one can generate the lepton asymmetry of the universe which could then get converted to a baryon asymmetry during the electroweak phase transition. We consider the possibility that the Yukawa couplings are small…
Baryogenesis through neutrino oscillations is an elegant mechanism which has found several realizations in the literature corresponding to different parts of the model parameter space. Its appeal stems from its minimality and dependence…
A very simple extension of the standard model to include an Abelian family symmetry is able to describe the hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and their mixing angles together with the unification of gauge couplings. We consider the…
Thermal leptogenesis is an attractive mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. However, in supersymmetric models, the parameter space is severely restricted by the gravitino bound on the reheat temperature $T_{RH}$.…
Both neutrinoless double beta decay and leptogenesis require neutrinos to be Majorana fermions. A relation between these two phenomena can be derived once the mechanism of neutrino mass generation is specified. We first derive the…
We investigate the scenario of resonant thermal leptogenesis, in which the leptonic asymmetries are generated through renormalization group corrections induced at the leptogenesis scale. In the framework of the standard model extended by…
In the context of the minimal supersymmetric seesaw model, we study the implications of the current neutrino data for thermal leptogenesis, $\beta\beta_{0\nu}$ decay, and leptonic flavour- and CP-violating low-energy observables. We express…
In some classes of flavour models based on unified theories with a type I see-saw mechanism, the prediction for the mass of the lightest right-handed neutrino is in conflict with the lower bound from the requirement of successful thermal…
The natural grand unified theories solve various problems of the supersymmetric grand unified theory and give realistic quark and lepton mass matrices under the natural assumption that all terms allowed by the symmetry are introduced with…
During inflation, scalar fields, including the Higgs boson, may acquire a nonzero vacuum expectation value, which must later relax to the equilibrium value during reheating. In the presence of the time-dependent condensate, the vacuum state…
We investigate thermal leptogenesis within a supersymmetric grand unified theory (SUSY GUT) based on the $SO(10) \times U(1)_A$ symmetry, where both the doublet--triplet splitting problem and the unrealistic Yukawa relations are resolved…
The type-I seesaw model with two-zero textures of the Majorana mass matrix for the right-handed neutrinos $M^{}_{\rm R}$ provides a highly predictive framework for neutrino mass generation and baryon asymmetry of the Universe via…
