Abstract
The cosmological and astrophysical significance of baryon and lepton number violating process is the subject of this talk. The possibility of baryon-number violating processes in the electroweak transition in the early universe is reviewed. The implications of lepton-number violation via Nambu-Goldstone bosons are discussed in detail.
