We construct for the first time a flavor model, based on the smallest discrete symmetry Delta(27) that implements spontaneous CP violation with a complex phase of geometric origin, which can actually reproduce all quark masses and mixing…

We consider Delta(27) models featuring geometrical CP violation, and analyse several structures that can obtain the observed lepton masses and mixing. The leptonic structures considered are entirely consistent with structures that reproduce…

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…

Predictive spontaneous CP violation is possible if it is obtained geometrically through a non-Abelian discrete symmetry. I propose such a model of neutrino mass and mixing based on Delta(27).

We analyse the properties of generic models based on an SU(3) family symmetry providing a full description of quark charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles. We show that a precise fit of the resulting fermion textures is…

We present a model which employs $CP\times Z_3$ symmetries where quark mixing and charged leptons masses are explained by following some texture. To achieve neutrino mass and mixing, we write a non-renormalizable Lagrangian using type-II…

We present a model for quark masses and mixing, featuring geometrical CP violation through a \Delta(27) triplet. By employing a single U(1)_F or Z_N symmetry in addition to \Delta(27), we forbid all terms in the scalar potential that would…

We study the behaviour of the flavour changing neutral currents in the Left-Right Symmetric Model related to the presence of spontaneous CP phases. To do this, we explore four cases corresponding to combinations of maximal and no CP…

Spontaneous CP-violating phases that do not depend on the parameters of the Higgs sector - the so-called calculable phases - are investigated. The simplest realization is in models with 3 Higgs doublets, in which the scalar potential is…

We explore the phenomenological quark-lepton mass matrices, which are devised following the S$_3$ flavour symmetry principle, yet fully consistent with SU(5) gauge models with the Higgs particles of {\bf 5}, {\bf 45} and their conjugates.…

We study how to incorporate CP violation in the Froggatt--Nielsen (FN) mechanism. To this end, we introduce non-renormalizable interactions with a flavor democratic structure to the fermion mass generation sector. It is found that at least…

I propose the use of CP-odd invariants, which are independent of basis and valid for any choice of CP transformation, as a powerful approach to study CP in the presence of flavour symmetries. As examples of the approach I focus on…

We study flavour physics and CP violation in the context of low energy Supersymmetry with non-universal soft mass terms for sfermions. Large deviations from Standard Model predictions are allowed in B-physics, as shown in two explicit…

We observe that a recently proposed supersymmetric model with Q6 flavor symmetry admits a new CP violating ground state. A new sum rule for the quark mixing parameters emerges, which is found to be consistent with data. Simple extensions of…

We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the…

A simple formalism to describe flavor and CP violation in a model independent way is provided. Our method is particularly useful to derive robust bounds on models with arbitrary mechanisms of alignment. Known constraints on flavor violation…
