Popis: Abstract Recently a new model of “Affleck-Dine inflation” was presented, that produces the baryon asymmetry from a complex inflaton carrying baryon number, while being consistent with constraints from the cosmic microwave background. We adapt this model such that the inflaton carries lepton number, and communicates the lepton asymmetry to the standard model baryons via quasi-Dirac heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) and sphalerons. One of these HNLs, with mass < ~ $$ \underset{\sim }{
