In the lepton sector the atmospheric and solar mixing angles are large, in stark contrast with the quark sector where all the mixing angles are small. I will discuss how, if neutrino masses are generated by the seesaw mechanism, this difference can naturally result in a manner consistent with an underlying quark-lepton symmetry. Morever the near tri-bi-maximal mixing observed in the neutrino...

Totally unexpected violation of CP symmetry was discovered in 1964 in the neutral kaon decays. Although an elegant way to explain this within the framework of the Standard Model was proposed already 1973 by Kobayashi and Maskawa, we had to wait till 2002 to confirm this when the CP violation in the decay amplitudes was established in the neutral kaon decays (non zero epsilon prim), and CP...

The scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis will be reviewed.
This is an appealing scenario that may relate the observed baryon
asymmetry in the Universe to the low-energy neutrino data. Particular
emphasis will be put on recent developments on the field, such as the
flavourdynamics of leptogenesis and resonant leptogenesis
near the electroweak phase transition. I will illustrate...
