Lepton Flavor Violating Decays, Soft Leptogenesis and SUSY SO(10)
We investigate lepton flavor violating decays in a SUSY SO(10) model with
symmetric textures recently constructed by us. Unlike the models with lop-sided
textures which give rise to a large decay rate for mu -> e gamma, the decay
rate we get is much suppressed and yet it is large enough to be accessible to
the next generation of experiments. We have also investigated the possibility
of baryogenesis resulting from soft leptogenesis. We find that with the soft
SUSY masses assuming their natural values, B^\prime \equiv \sqrt{BM_{1}} ~ 1.4
TeV and Im(A) ~ 1 TeV, the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe can be
accommodated in our model. We have also updated the predictions of our model
for the masses, mixing angles and CP violating measures in both charged fermion
and neutrino sectors, using the most up-to-date experimental data as input.Comment: RevTeX, 22 pages, 9 figures; v2: references added, version to appear

Relating Leptogenesis to Low Energy CP Violation
In the minimal left-right symmetric model with spontaneous CP violation,
there are only two intrinsic CP violating phases to account for all CP
violation in both the quark and lepton sectors. In addition, the left-and
right-handed Majorana mass terms for the neutrinos are proportional to each
other due to the parity in the model. This is thus a very constrained
framework, making the existence of correlations among the CP violation in
leptogenesis, neutrino oscillation and neutrinoless double beta decay possible.Comment: 4 pages; to appear in Proceedings of SUSY06, the 14th International
