Charged gravitational instantons: extra CP violation and charge quantisation in the Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-02-20 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We argue that quantum electrodynamics combined with quantum gravity results in a new source of CP violation, anomalous non-conservation of chiral charge and quantisation of electric charge. Further phenomenological and cosmological implications of this observation are briefly discussed within the standard model of particle physics and cosmology
