We propose a simple model for the spontaneous CP violation based on $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y}\times A_{4}\times CP\times Z_{2}$ symmetry for quarks and leptons in a seesaw framework. In our model CP is spontaneously broken at high energies,…
In the vanilla type-I seesaw leptogenesis scenario, CP violation required to generate the lepton asymmetries in the heavy Majorana neutrino decays stem from complex Dirac-type Yukawa couplings. In this paper we explore the case in which…
The inclusion of two triplet scalars in the Standard Model (SM) enables to accommodate neutrino mass generation as well as baryogenesis through leptogenesis. One of the essential ingredients of leptogenesis is the violation of charge…
We study baryogenesis through leptogenesis via decay of triplet scalars embedded in the Standard Model. We consider two triplets scenario where the vacuum expectation value developed by one of the triplets is complex. The coupling of the…
In the minimal left-right symmetric model, there are only two intrinsic CP violating phases to account for all CP violation in both the quark and lepton sectors, if CP is broken spontaneously by the complex phases in the VEV's of the scalar…
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…
A non-supersymmetric renormalizable $SO(10)$ model, with CP invariant Yukawa sector consisting of Lorentz scalars in $10$ and $\overline{126}$ dimensional representations, is proposed. The elemental Yukawa couplings are real due to CP…
We explore the possibility of spontaneous CP violation within the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the most general form of the model, without a discrete $Z_3$ symmetry, we find that even at tree level spontaneous CP…
We put forward the conjecture that all CP violating phenomena may have a common origin. In order to illustrate our idea, we present a minimal model where CP is spontaneously broken at a high energy scale, through the phase in the vacuum…
We construct models of leptons based on $S_4$ family symmetry combined with a generalised CP symmetry $H_{CP}$. We show how the flavon potential can spontaneously break the symmetry $S_4 \rtimes H_{CP}$ down to $Z_2 \times H^{\nu}_{CP}$ in…
We present a top-condensation model in which the CP symmetry is spontaneously broken at the electroweak scale due to the condensation of two composite Higgs doublets. In particular the CP-violating phase of the CKM matrix is generated. A…
We study a 3-3-1 model based on non-Abelian discrete symmetry group $T_{13}$ which accommodates lepton mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The neutrinos get small masses and mixing with CP violation phase from…
We discuss CP-violation in a model with a real and a complex isospin triplet Higgs fields without introducing any symmetries except for the electroweak gauge symmetry. This corresponds to the minimal extension of the Higgs sector with the…
We consider a model based on $A_4$ symmetry to explain the phenomenon of neutrino mixing. The spontaneous symmetry breaking of $A_4$ symmetry leads to a co-bimaximal mixing matrix at leading order. We consider the effect of higher order…
We study spontaneous CP violation as a solution to the strong CP problem in left-right symmetric theories. The discrete CP symmetry is broken by a complex vacuum expectation value of a right-handed Higgs doublet. Heavy vectorlike down-type…
We discuss the modular $A_4$ invariant model of leptons combining with the generalized CP symmetry. In our model, both CP and modular symmetries are broken spontaneously by the vacuum expectation value of the modulus $\tau$. The source of…
In multi-Higgs-doublet models, requiring simultaneously that (i) CP violation only arises spontaneously, (ii) tree level scalar flavour changing couplings are absent and (iii) the fermion mixing matrix is CP violating, can only be achieved…
We study a neutrino mass model based on $S_4$ flavor symmetry which accommodates lepton mass, mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the model is imposed to obtain the realistic…
