Scientific paper

The neutron-to-proton (n/p) ratio before nucleosynthesis in a hot big-bang model is calculated as a function of temperature for nonzero electron and muon leptonic numbers or, equivalently, for nonzero neutrino degeneracy parameters. A Lemaitre-Friedmann universe is assumed, and the effect of nonzero leptonic numbers on the temperature dependence of the n/p ratio is considered. The results are used to estimate the primeval yield of He-4 and to set limits on the leptonic numbers.
