The T-odd correlation coefficient D in nuclear beta decay probes CP violation in many theories beyond the Standard Model. We provide an analysis for how large D can be in light of constraints from electric dipole moment (EDM) searches. We…
We analyse the $\theta$-angle physics associated to extensions of the standard model of particle interactions featuring new strongly coupled sectors. We start by providing a pedagogical review of the $\theta$-angle physics for Quantum…
Soft quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements play an important role in fundamental QCD studies as well as in tuning of corresponding Monte Carlo generator models for a good description of experimental data. Recent results of soft QCD…
A permanent electric dipole moment of fundamental spin-1/2 particles violates both parity (P) and time re- versal (T) symmetry, and hence, also charge-parity (CP) symmetry since there is no sign of CPT-violation. The search for a neutron…
QCD sum rules using polynomial kernels are used to evaluate the strong part of the proton-neutron mass difference DeltaM_np in a model independent fashion. The result for the mass difference turns out to depend sensitively on the value of…
The external-field QCD Sum Rules method is used to evaluate the coupling constant of the light isoscalar-scalar meson (``$\sigma$'' or \epsilon) to the nucleon. The contributions that come from the excited nucleon states and the response of…
Effective coupling constant in quantum electrodynamics is investigated. A pole appears in the effective coupling constant for the space-like momentum if it is calculated by perturbation. The pole can be eliminated by the analytic…
We carry out a feasibility study for the lattice QCD calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in the presence of the $\theta$ term. We develop the strategy to obtain the nucleon EDM from the CP-odd electromagnetic form…
Neutron Electric Dipole Moment (nEDM), a generic feature of CP-violation, is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model, but can be much larger in most extensions of the model. In this talk, I will discuss the classification of the CP…
The short-time regime of QCD two-point correlation functions is examined through a QCD-Sum-Rule-inspired continuum model. QCD Sum Rule techniques are tested and alternate nucleon interpolating fields are discussed. The techniques presented…
A topological $\theta$-term in gauge theories, including quantum chromodynamics in 3+1 dimensions, gives rise to a sign problem that makes classical Monte Carlo simulations impractical. Quantum simulations are not subject to such sign…
We generalize the recently developed diagrammatic Monte Carlo techniques for quantum impurity models from an imaginary time to a Keldysh formalism suitable for real-time and nonequilibrium calculations. Both weak-coupling and…
We propose a new approach to perform numerical simulations of theta-vacuum like systems, test it in two analytically solvable models, and apply it to CP^3. The main new ingredient in our approach is the method used to compute the…
We briefly discuss the current status of lattice QCD simulations and review selective results on nucleon observables focusing on recent developments in the lattice QCD evaluation of the nucleon form factors and radii, parton distribution…
Dynamical triangulations of four-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity give rise to an interesting, numerically accessible model of quantum gravity. We give a simple introduction to the model and discuss two particularly important issues.…
We revisit the supersymmetric CP problem and find that it can be naturally resolved if the origin of CP violation is closely related to the origin of flavour structures. In this case, the supersymmetry breaking dynamics do not bring in any…
One may argue that QCD solves the strong CP problem by itself, without having to introduce new symmetries and particles. To test this idea, a lattice simulation is performed. The problem is investigated in the CP$^3$ model first. It is…
It is well known that technicolor models in which the electroweak symmetry is broken by QCD-like strong dynamics at the TeV scale generally predict unacceptably large corrections to low-energy observables. We investigate the models of…
In a class of supersymmetric grand unified theories, including those based on the gauge group $SO(10)$, there are new contributions to the electric dipole moments of the neutron and electron, which arise as a heavy top quark effect. These…
It has been shown recently that a neutron placed in an external quasistatic electric field develops an induced electric dipole moment $\mathbf{p}_{\mathrm{IND}}$ due to quantum fluctuations in the QED vacuum. A feasible experiment which…
