چکیده
(a) j − M (˜ a) j given in eq. 3.6 of ref. [1] has a wrong relative sign between particle and anti-particle contributions. Here we present the derivation of the correct sign and its implications for the limits derived in ref. [1]. We start from eq. (2.9) of [1],

Neutrino-antineutrino Asymmetry in the Early Universe
In this talk I discuss the use of a relic neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry in suppressing active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe. This phenomenon can serve to greatly loosen the well known Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on active-sterile neutrino mixing, and is thus important in some proposed solutions to the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies which employ large-a...
متن کاملOn chaoticity of the amplification of the neutrino asymmetry in the early universe
We consider numerically the growth of neutrino asymmetry in active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe. It is shown that the final sign of the asymmetry can be highly sensitive to small variations of the oscillation parameters. We find regions which are completely or partially chaotic, but also regions where the sign remains very robust. The consequences for atmospheric neutrino...
متن کاملCreation of large spatial fluctuations in neutrino asymmetry by neutrino oscillations
We consider active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe in an inhomogeneous isocurvature background. We show that very small initial baryonic seed-inhomogeneities can trigger a growth of very large amplitude spatial fluctuations in lepton asymmetry. Domains of varying asymmetry are observed to persist for a long time despite dissipative effects. The space dependent asymmetry prof...
متن کاملCoherent active-sterile neutrino flavor transformation in the early universe.
We solve the problem of coherent Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein resonant active-to-sterile neutrino flavor conversion driven by an initial lepton number in the early Universe. We find incomplete destruction of the lepton number in this process and a sterile neutrino energy distribution with a distinctive cusp and high energy tail. These features imply alteration of the nonzero lepton number primo...
متن کاملUnitarity Constraints on Neutrino Mass and Mixings
Recent observations of atmospheric neutrinos and especially their zenithangle dependence , strongly suggest that muon neutrinos maximally mix with the tau neutrinos. Motivated by this observation and recent theoretical work on neutrino mass models , we explored 3 the implications of imposing the constraint that two neutrino flavors (which for definiteness we take to be νμ and ντ ) are similarly...
