Abstract

Latest developments in leptogenesis are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the possibilities to test models of new physics, embedding the seesaw mechanism, by combining the requirement of successful leptogenesis with the information from low energy neutrino experiments. In particular, we discuss the role played by light and heavy flavor effects in the determination of the final asymmetry and the attractive features of the N₂-dominated scenario that is naturally realized within SO(10) models. We also discuss leptogenesis within discrete flavor symmetries models, supersymmetry and in the minimal two right-handed (RH) neutrino model.
