We study leptogenesis via out-of-equilibrium decays of right-handed neutrinos in a parity symmetric extension of the Standard Model with gauge group $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_X$, spontaneously broken to the Standard Model gauge group at a scale $v_R$. We focus on the minimal Higgs realization, in which the strong CP problem is resolved without invoking additional symmetries. In this framework, lepton number is violated through Yukawa interactions, while neutrino masses arise only at higher loop order, a feature that permits the CP-violating quantum corrections to right-handed neutrino decays to be parametrically large. For thermal production of right-handed neutrinos, we find that successful leptogenesis requires $v_R \gtrsim 6\times 10^{12}$ GeV. Non-thermal production, however, relaxes this bound dramatically, requiring only $v_R \gtrsim 10$ TeV, a scale accessible to collider searches for new particles and searches for rare processes.
We investigate neutrino mass and thermal leptogenesis in the Babu-Nandi-Tavartkiladze (BNT) model featuring a scalar quadruplet ($\Phi$) and a pair of vector-like fermion triplets ($\Sigma$). In this framework, neutrino masses are generated via an effective dimension-7 operator $LLHH(H^{\dagger}H)/\Lambda^3$ at the tre...

The observation of neutrino masses strongly motivates $U(1)_{B-L}$ extensions of the Standard Model, in which heavy neutral leptons acquire Majorana masses through spontaneous $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry breaking and generate light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. In this framework, the singlet scalar responsible fo...

Dirac leptogenesis offers a qualitatively different route to the baryon asymmetry: total lepton number is conserved, but equal and opposite asymmetries are stored in the Standard Model and right handed neutrino sectors, with only the visible component processed by electroweak sphalerons. We present the first dedicated...
We consider a model which provides an explanation of the origin of light neutrino masses, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe -- via leptogenesis -- and explains the observed dark matter relic abundance with several components. In this scenario, Majorana masses of the active neutrinos are produced by the inverse seesa...

We identify the smallest discrete flavor symmetry and minimal field content that can simultaneously account for neutrino masses and the dark sector in the context of the discrete dark matter. Minimality is achieved with a $D_4$ symmetry by adding three right-handed neutrinos and three scalar doublets. Within this frame...

Dynamical dark energy offers an alternative to a cosmological constant with distinct observational signatures. However, the small energy density scale, Hubble-sized mass, and Planckian excursions make simple models fine-tuned and unnatural. In this work, we show that a weak version of the axion, identified with the pha...
