It has been shown that QED in (1+4)-dimensional space-time, with the fifth dimension compactified on a circle, leads to CP violation (CPV). Depending on fermionic boundary conditions, CPV may be either explicit (through the Scherk--Schwarz…
Electroweak baryogenesis depends on the profile of the bubble wall created in the first-order phase transition. It is pointed out that CP violation in the Higgs sector of the MSSM could become large enough to explain the baryon asymmetry.…
The complex phase present in CP-violating systems such as neutral kaons is shown to be of geometrical origin. It is also concluded that the complex phase of the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa (CKM) matrix is a Berry-like phase.
We find in theories with spontaneous P and CP violation that symmetries needed to set the tree level strong CP phase to zero can also set all non-zero tree level CP violating phases to the maximal value \pi / 2 in the symmetry basis…
The relation between CP-violation phase angle and the other three mixing angles in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is postulated. This relation has a very definite geometry meaning. The numerical result coincides surprisingly with that…
Simply based on CP arguments, we argue against a Standard Model explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of a first order phase transition. A CP-asymmetry is found in the reflection coefficients of quarks hitting…
The B-factories results provide an impressive confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) description of flavor and CP violation. Nevertheless, as more data were accumulated, deviations in the 2.5-3.5 sigma range have emerged pointing to the…
In the most general two-Higgs doublet model with an approximate family symmetry and CP violation being originated solely from the relative phase of two vacuum expectation values, CP asymmetry in the decay $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ may arise…
The explicit CP violation in the MSSM radiatively induces a finite unremovable alignment between the Higgs doublets. This additinal phase can be as large as the original CP phases in certain portions of the MSSM parameter space. Considering…
We extend the standard model fermions by a mirror copy to realize a left-right symmetry. During a strongly first order phase transition of the spontaneous left-right symmetry breaking, the CP-violating reflections of the mirror fermions off…
For models with several Higgs doublets we present an alternative method to the one proposed by Branco, Gerard and Grimus, in 1984, to check whether or not CP is spontaneously violated in the Higgs potential. The previous method is powerful…
We discuss the conditions under which Higgs and confining regimes in gauge theories with fundamental representation matter fields can be sharply distinguished. It is widely believed that these regimes are smoothly connected unless they are…
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 extend the standard model to a scalar-assisted vector-like fermion model to realize electroweak baryogenesis. The extended Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, due to the mixing among the vector-like quark and the standard model quarks,…
Assuming a new interaction with a $\theta$ term for the third generation of quarks, a value of $\theta$ different from zero dynamically induces the top- bottom mass splitting and a large CP-violating phase.
The electroweak baryogenesis depends on the profile of the CP-violating bubble wall created at the first order phase transition. We attempt to determine it by solving the coupled equations of motion for the moduli and phases of the two…
We discuss theoretical and phenomenological aspects of two-Higgs-doublet extensions of the Standard Model. In general, these extensions have scalar mediated flavour changing neutral currents which are strongly constrained by experiment.…
With the motivation of explaining the dark matter and achieving the electroweak baryogenesis via the spontaneous CP-violation at high temperature, we propose a complex singlet scalar ($S=\frac{\chi+i\eta_s}{\sqrt{2}}$) extension of the…
Contrary to the usual case when the quark mass spectrum is defined by that of the quark Yukawa couplings while the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field remains universal, we suggest to consider the opposite situation. Each generation…
We compute the particle currents induced on a bubble wall background at finite temperature in a model with CP violation in the Higgs sector. Using a field theory approach we show that fermionic currents arise at one loop, so that a…
