Description

The CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe $Y_B$ in ``flavoured'' leptogenesis scenario can arise from the ``low energy'' PMNS neutrino mixing matrix $U$ and/or from the ``high energy'' part of neutrino Yukawa couplings, which can mediate CP-violating phenomena only at some high energy scale. In the proposed talk i) the possibility that the requisite CP-violation in leptogenesis is provided exclusively by the Majorana or Dirac phases in the neutrino mixing matrix and ii) the interplay between the indicated two types of CP-violation in ``flavoured'' leptogenesis, will be discussed. Results obtained within the type I see-saw model with three heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos having hierarchical mass spectrum will be reported.
