Abstract

The cosmological baryon asymmetry can be explained as remnant of heavy Majorana neutrino decays in the early universe. We study this mechanism for two models of neutrino masses with a large νμ-ντmixing angle which are based on the symmetries SU(5) x U(1)F and SU(3)c x SU(3)L x SU(3)R x U(1)F, respectively. In both cases B-L is broken at the unification scale ΛGUT. The models make different predictions for the baryogenesis temperature and the gravitino abundance.
