Abstract
Recent evidence for neutrino masses has established the leptogenesis mechanism as a very natural possible explanation for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The explicit realization of this mechanism depends on the neutrino mass model considered. If the right-handed type-I seesaw model of neutrino masses is certainly the most straightforward, it is not the only natural one, especially in the framework of explicit GUT realizations of the seesaw. In this paper, we review in detail the various seesaw scenarios that can implement the leptogenesis mechanism successfully, beyond the paradigm of the pure standard type-I seesaw model. This includes scenarios based on the existence of scalar triplets (type-II), of fermion triplets (type-III) as well as mixed seesaw frameworks.
