Leptogenesis in an inflationary universe
Leptogenesis in an inflationary universe
We investigate leptogenesis via decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos which are produced nonthermally in inflaton decays. We make a comprehensive study on leptogenesis assuming various supersymmetric (SUSY) models for hybrid, new, and topological inflations. For an estimation of the lepton asymmetry we adopt the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism for mass matrices of …
