Baryogenesis, through the decays of heavy bosons, was considered to be one of the major successes of the grand unified theories (GUTs). It was then realized that the sphaleron processes erased any baryon asymmetry from the GUT-baryogenesis…
We propose a new baryogenesis scenario based on coherent production and mixing of different fermionic species. The mechanism is operative during phase transitions, at which the fermions acquire masses via Yukawa couplings to scalar fields.…
We discuss the non-thermal leptogenesis in the scheme of 5D orbifold SO(10) GUT with the smooth hybrid inflation. With an unambiguously determined Dirac Yukawa couplings and an assumption for the neutrino mixing matrix of the tri-bimaximal…
We consider $SO(10)$ Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) with vacuum expectation values (vevs) for fermion masses in the $\mathbf{10} + \mathbf{\overline{126}}$ representation. We show that the baryon asymmetry generated via leptogenesis is…
Lopsided structure in mass matrices of down quarks and leptons gives a simple explanation for the observed large angles of neutrino mixings. We realize such mass matrices by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism in the framework of supersymmetric…
We show that unification of the three gauge couplings can be realized consistently in a class of non-supersymmetric SO(10) models with a one-step breaking to the Standard Model if a color-sextet scalar field survives down to the TeV scale.…
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…
We discuss the baryogenesis via leptogenesis mechanism within the supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric SO(10) models. We find that the nonsupersymmetric model, endowed with an intermediate scale, is generally favoured, unless some fine…
At the end of inflation the universe is frozen in a near zero-entropy state with energy density in a coherent scalar field and must be ``defrosted'' to produce the observed entropy and baryon number. We propose that the baryon asymmetry is…
Post-sphaleron baryogenesis, a fresh and profound mechanism of baryogenesis accounts for the matter-antimatter asymmetry of our present universe in a framework of Pati-Salam symmetry. We attempt here to embed this mechanism in a non-SUSY…
We reconsider the GUT-baryogenesis mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The baryon asymmetry is produced by the out of equilibrium decay of coloured Higgs bosons at the GUT scale, conserving B-L. If neutrinos are…
We consider a supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unified Theory (GUT) based on the gauge group G_PS=SU(4)_C x SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R, which incorporates non-minimal chaotic inflation, driven by a quartic potential associated with the Higgs fields…
Motivated by the fact that, in some realistic models combining SO(10) GUTs and flavour symmetries, it is not possible to achieve the required baryon asymmetry through the CP asymmetry generated in the decay of right-handed neutrinos, we…
During inflation primordial quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric become classical and there is a spontaneous CPT violation by the spin connection coupling terms of the metric with fermions. The energy levels of the left and the…
Although $SO(10)$ Supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unification Theories (GUTs) are very attractive for neutrino mass and mixing, it is often quite difficult to achieve successful leptogenesis from the lightest right-handed neutrino $N_1$ due to…
In the standard model and most of its extensions the electroweak transition is too weak to affect the cosmological baryon asymmetry. Due to sphaleron processes baryogenesis in the high-temperature, symmetric phase of the standard model is…
We propose a new mechanism for baryogenesis in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model, that does not depend on (super)GUT interactions. It occurs by the non-perturbative electroweak reprocessing of a lepton asymmetry. This lepton…
The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe remains one of the central open problems in particle physics and cosmology. We identify a regime of \emph{hybrid resonant leptogenesis} in renormalizable SO(10) grand unified theories,…
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…
We revisit local F-theory SO(10) and SU(5) GUTs and analyze their properties within the framework of the maximal underlying E_8 symmetry in the elliptic fibration. We consider the symmetry enhancements along the intersections of…
