abstract
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 completely determined in terms of measured low energy observables and of one single high energy parameter related to the ratio of the $\mathbf{10}$ and $\mathbf{\overline{126}}$ $SU(2)$ doublet vevs. We identify new decay channels for the heavy Majorana neutrinos into $SU(2)$ singlet leptons $e^c$ which can sizeably affect the size of the resulting baryon asymmetry. We describe how to equip $SO(10)$ fits to low energy data with the additional constraint of successful leptogenesis, and we apply this procedure to the fits carried out in ref.~\cite{Dueck:2013gca}. We show that a baryon asymmetry in perfect agreement with observations is obtained.

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.
