| dc.description.abstract | The thesis presented here is motivated by Leptogenesis where the study of dynamics of Majorana fermions become
crucial. Majorana fermion dynamics are discussed contrasting them with the dynamics of Dirac fermions. Equations
of motion for Majorana fermions are studied in spatially homogeneous conformal spaces. The said equations reveal
a certain topological structure and this is realized by solving them on de Sitter space. We then use them to
construct the Feynman propagator for Majorana fermions. | |

| dc.subject | The thesis deals with understanding the true nature of Majorana fermions on cosmological spaces. We have studied the dynamical equations of Majorana fermions and we see that there are topological properties that emerge and we have used de Sitter space to realize them. This is important as the we have also constructed the propagator on de Sitter space and it is relevant for cosmology in the context of inflation. The process of Leptogenesis is also kept in mind. | |
