abstract
We study leptogenesis from the out-of-equilibrium decays of the lightest heavy neutrino $N_1$ in the medium (low) temperature regime, $T\lsim 10^{12}$ GeV ($10^{10}$ GeV), where the rates of processes mediated by the $\tau$ (and $\mu$) Yukawa coupling are non negligible, implying that the effects of lepton flavors must be taken into account. We find important quantitative and qualitative differences with respect to the case where flavor effects are ignored: (i) The cosmic baryon asymmetry can be enhanced by up to one order of magnitude; (ii) The sign of the asymmetry can be opposite to what one would predict from the sign of the total lepton asymmetry $\epsilon_1$; (iii) Successful leptogenesis is possible even with $\epsilon_1=0$.

Axion-driven spontaneous leptogenesis, precisely
Standard-misalignment axions coupled to strong or weak sphalerons can produce the observed baryon asymmetry at GUT-scale decay constants, whereas the vanilla Majoron scenario is ruled out by late-time dilution.

Cosmic Collider Gravitational Waves sourced by Right-handed Neutrino production from Bubbles: Testing Seesaw, Leptogenesis and Dark Matter
Bubble collisions in a seesaw model produce right-handed neutrinos that source novel gravitational waves detectable by LISA, ET, and LVK while allowing the lightest RHN to explain dark matter or enable leptogenesis.

Universal Seesaw Leptogenesis
Leptogenesis can proceed from single-generation gauge-singlet mediator decays in a Universal Seesaw model if parity is broken in the neutrino sector; the lightest right-handed neutrino is a sub-eV dark-radiation relic.

Exact constraints on family-separated seesaw relations and their phenomenological consequences
Under exact family-separated seesaw alignment, the neutrino Yukawa columns are exactly orthogonal and all standard nonresonant one-loop decay asymmetries vanish, invalidating the proposed CP-asymmetry correlation.

Leptogenesis with sub-electroweak-scale reheating temperature
Leptogenesis remains viable for reheating temperatures below sphaleron freeze-out in three perturbative monomial-inflaton scenarios, with blue-tilted primordial GWs as a potential probe.

Non-holomorphic $S^{\prime}_{4}$ modular symmetry for leptons and leptogenesis
36 viable non-holomorphic S'4 modular models for leptons are identified via numerical scans, with two yielding successful unflavored thermal leptogenesis from the real part of τ while fitting neutrino data.

Minimal Majoron Dark Matter from a Discrete $Z_N$ Gauge Symmetry
Discrete Z_N-protected majoron dark matter excludes Z_5, leaves Z_7/Z_11/Z_13 viable, and predicts a 1–10 MeV Z_7 majoron testable by COSI through 511 keV and γγ lines.

$n \to K\ell$ and the baryon asymmetry of the universe
In SMEFT, the (B-L)-violating decay n → K⁺ℓ⁻ appears at dimension seven while the conserving n → K⁻ℓ⁺ requires dimension ten and is accompanied by lower-dimensional (B+L)-violating modes, so n → Kℓ without modes like ...

Constraints on the mass of the dark antibaryon using $B_d\rightarrow \Lambda \psi_{DS}$ channel in light cone QCD
The mass ranges for the dark antibaryon ψ_DS are determined by deriving the B_d → Λ ψ_DS branching fraction via light-cone QCD sum rules and comparing it to BaBar and Belle experimental bounds.

Insights on the Scale of Leptogenesis from Neutrino Masses and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
In hierarchical seesaw leptogenesis, the required lightest heavy-neutrino mass sits between about 10^8 and 10^10 GeV for typical fine-tuning and can fall to 10^6 GeV with strong fine-tuning, as a function of the light...
