We generalize the geometrical description of CP violation in the Standard Model in terms of a unitarity triangle. For three left-handed Majorana neutrinos CP violation in the lepton sector is determined by three unitarity triangles. With…

The study of charge symmetry violation in nuclear physics is a potentially enormous subject. Through a few topical examples we aim to show that it is not a subject of peripheral interest but rather goes to the heart of our understanding of…
Neutrino oscillations with three lepton families are described with a unitary mixing matrix U in analogy to the quark mixing matrix V(CKM). If U contains a nontrivial phase, there will be CP- and T-violating asymmetries at distances large…
The achievement of the goals of the ongoing and future accelerator-based neutrino experiments - notably the determination of CP violating phase in the lepton sector - will require the development of advanced models of neutrino-nucleus…
We study the CP violation effects from two types of neutrino mass matrices with (i) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=0$, and (ii) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=(M_\nu)_{e\mu}=0$, which can be realized by the high dimensional lepton number violating operators $\bar…
We develop a non-adiabatic perturbation theory for oscillations involving an arbitrary number of neutrino and antineutrino species, including the possibility of lepton number violation which we treat as a small effect. We interpret the…

We review the current status of the data on neutrino masses and lepton mixing and the prospects for measuring the CP-violating phases in the lepton sector. The possible connection between low energy CP violation encoded in the Dirac and…
CP violation in B decays provides a powerful tool to probe physics from beyond the Standard Model. A theoretical overview of recent developments of benchmark channels is given, ranging from non-leptonic to rare leptonic and semileptonic…
We explain why the see-saw picture and leptogenesis make it particularly interesting to find out whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles, and whether their oscillations violate CP.
The compelling experimental evidences for oscillations of solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrinos imply the existence of 3-neutrino mixing in vacuum. We review the phenomenology of 3-neutrino mixing, and the current data on the 3-neutrino…
The observation of neutrino masses leads to the possibility of leptonic mixing and CP violation. One of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model giving rise to neutrino masses consists of the introduction of one righthanded neutrino…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
Recent highlights in CP violation phenomena are reviewed. B-factory results imply that CP-violation phase in the CKM matrix is the dominant contributor to the observed CP violation in K and B-physics. Deviations from the predictions of the…
CP-symmetry violates in oscillations of neutrinos in vacuum in presence of three generations. In this case there is an inherent complex phase in PMNS-matrix. When any two neutrino masses degenerate the CP-violation vanishes. In the present…
Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? We explain why they very well might be. Then, after highlighting the fact that, to determine experimentally whether they are or not, one must overcome the smallness of neutrino masses, we discuss the…
