Creation 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 profiles give rise to MSW-resonances within the domain boundaries, enhancing dramatically the equilibration of the sterile neutrino species. According to our one-dimensional toy-model, the effect is so strong that almost the entire parameter space where exponential growth of asymmetry occurs would be ruled out by nucleosynthesis.
