Baryogenesis appears to require lepton number violation. This is naturally realized in extensions of the standard model containing right-handed neutrinos. We discuss the generation of a baryon asymmetry by the out-of-equilibrium decay of…

The next generation of $e^+e^-$ colliders will offer a possibility of clean testing of QCD dynamics. Recent progress in the theoretical description of exclusive processes permits for many of them a consistent use of the perturbative QCD…
We show that definite polarization observables for the simplest electroproduction processes, $\ell+N\to \ell+B(1/2^\pm)+M(0^\pm)$, $B=Y(\Lambda, \Sigma$ or $Y_c$-hyperon, $\Theta^+$-pentaquark) and $M=K$, $\bar{K}$ or $D$, are sensitive to…
We consider variations of the standard leptogenesis picture arising from the presence of an additional scale related to the breaking of a $U(1)_X$ abelian flavor symmetry. We show that quite generically the presence of an additional energy…
