In this brief review I discuss ways and tests of CPT-Violation in the context of quantum gravity theories with space-time foam vacua, which entail quantum decoherence of matter propagating in such backgrounds. I cover a wide variety of…
I review briefly various models and ways of Quantum-Gravity induced CPT violation, and discuss in some detail their phenomenology, in particular precision CPT tests in neutral mesons, and hydrogen/antihydrogen spectroscopy. As I shall…
The ongoing experimental efforts in the high energy and high precision communities keep providing evidence for CPT, a fundamental symmetry holding in any local Lorentz invariant theory. We suggest possible interconnections between different…
In recent years, the breakdown of spacetime symmetries has been identified as a promising research field in the context of Planck-scale phenomenology. For example, various theoretical approaches to the quantum-gravity problem are known to…
In this review, I first discuss briefly some theoretical motivations for potential Lorentz Violation and deviation from ordinary quantum mechanical behavior (decoherence) of field theoretic systems in the background of some quantum gravity…
A talk was given on the baryon asymmetry of our universe within the electroweak energy scale which was the theme for the 23rd INS Symposium. It was intended for non-experts by a non-expert speaker. A model is analized explicitly in which…
Recent phenomenological work has examined two different ways of including charge symmetry violation in parton distribution functions. First, a global phenomenological fit to high energy data has included charge symmetry breaking terms,…
We use the isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background to place stringent constraints on a possible electrical charge asymmetry of the universe. We find the excess charge per baryon to be $q_{e-p}<10^{-26}e$ in the case of a uniform…
We propose that the baryon asymmetry of the Universe may originate from the amplification of quantum fluctuations of a light complex scalar field during inflation. CP-violation is sourced by complex mass terms, which are smaller than the…
The formation of baryon asymmetry in the Universe is considered in the left-right asymmetry model of weak interaction. In this model, the nature of CP violation is associated with the presence of a right vector boson admixture, with a…
The analysis conducted in this work indicates that interactions of a CP-violating (and CPT-preserving) quantum system with a thermodynamic environment can produce the impression of a CPT violation in the system. This conclusion is…
A CPT violating decoherence scenario can easily account for all the experimental evidence in the neutrino sector including LSND. In this work it is argued that this framework can also accommodate the Dark Energy content of the Universe, as…
We review scenarios of baryogenesis through leptogenesis at early epochs of the universe, in string-inspired minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM), involving heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Spontaneous violation of CPT…
Experiments devoted to charge parity (CP) violation are normally interpreted by adjusting the elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix to the measured violation parameters. However, the physical origin of these violations remains an…
The phenomenon of CP violation is crucial to understand the asymmetry between matter and antimatter that exists in the Universe. Dramatic experimental progress has been made, in particular in measurements of the behaviour of particles…
We present aspects of a model which attempts to unify the creation of cold dark matter, a CP-violating baryon asymmetry, and also a small, residual vacuum energy density, in the early universe. The model contains a primary scalar (inflaton)…
The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem, corresponding to the virtual nonexistence of antimatter in the universe, is one of the greatest mysteries of cosmology. Within the framework of the Generation Model (GM) of particle physics, it is…
I review some aspects related with the connections between neutrino physics and the thermal leptogenesis mechanism for the generation of the cosmological baryon asymmetry of the Universe. A special attention is devoted to the problem of…
We study the probability oscillations of mixed particles in the presence of self-gravitational interaction. We show a breaking of the CPT-symmetry due to the contemporary violation of the T-symmetry and the CP-symmetry preservation. This…
The apparent dominance of matter over antimatter in our universe is an obvious and puzzling fact which cannot be adequately explained in present physical frameworks that assume matter-antimatter symmetry at the big bang. However, our…
