Description

In recent years tremendous progress was made in a rigorous treatment of leptogenesis, using methods from non equilibrium and thermal quantum field theory. I will review some of the recent developments, like new results for scattering rates and effects from partially equilibrated spectator processes, and explain why they can have a substantial impact on the final baryon asymmetry. Finally I will comment on possible implications for neutrino masses and model building.
