Non-resonant leptogenesis in seesaw models with an almost conserved B-L
We review the motivations and some results on leptogenesis in seesaw models
with an almost conserved lepton number. The paper is based on a talk given at
the 5th International Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics, SSP2012.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure. Published in the proceedings of the 5th
International Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics, SSP201
Confinement, Vacuum Structure: from QCD to Quantum Gravity
A minimal Lorentz gauge gravity model with R^2-type Lagrangian is proposed.
In the absence of torsion the model admits a topological phase with unfixed
metric. The model possesses a minimal set of dynamical degrees of freedom for
the torsion. Remarkably, the torsion has the same number of dynamical of-shell
degrees of freedom as the metric tensor. We trace an analogy between the
structure of the quantum chromodynamics and the structure of possible theory of
quantum gravity.Comment: 7 pages; reduced version of talk given at IV International Symposium

CP Violation in to p : SM vs New Physics
I discuss CP violation in to p comparing the standard model
expectations with what could happen in new physics scenarios. I point out that
Fermilab experiment E871 is sensitive to some of these scenarios.Comment: 6 pages, Talk at Hyperon 99 Fermilab, and at Symmetries in Subatomic

Nambu Bracket for M Theory
In this article we give a concise review of recent progress in our
understanding of the Lie 3-algebra and their application to the
Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model describing multiple M2-branes in M theory.Comment: 13 pages, prepared for The Fourth International Symposium on

Unravelling strange quarks in nucleon structure
We present a discourse on the stages of discovery that have led to a deeper
understanding of the role played by strange quarks in the structure of the
nucleon.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; prepared for the proceedings of Achievements and
