Baryogenesis via neutrino oscillations
read the original abstract
We propose a new mechanism of leptogenesis in which the asymmetries in lepton numbers are produced through the CP-violating oscillations of ``sterile'' (electroweak singlet) neutrinos. The asymmetry is communicated from singlet neutrinos to ordinary leptons through their Yukawa couplings. The lepton asymmetry is then reprocessed into baryon asymmetry by electroweak sphalerons. We show that the observed value of baryon asymmetry can be generated in this way, and the masses of ordinary neutrinos induced by the seesaw mechanism are in the astrophysically and cosmologically interesting range. Except for singlet neutrinos, no physics beyond the Standard Model is required.

Low-Scale Leptogenesis from Resonant Thermal Lepton Flavour Coherences
Resonant thermal lepton-flavour coherences at two loops enable dominant low-scale leptogenesis for both Dirac and Majorana singlet neutrinos down to GeV masses without mass degeneracy.

Dominant Thermal Resonant Mechanism for Low-Scale Leptogenesis
Thermal Resonant Leptogenesis produces the observed baryon asymmetry via a dominant thermal channel from Higgs decays and lepton-doublet coherences, without requiring quasi-degenerate sterile neutrinos.
