Discovering CP-violating effects in the Higgs sector would constitute an indisputable sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. We derive constraints on the CP-violating Higgs-boson couplings to top and bottom quarks as well as to tau…
We investigate the implications of spontaneous CP-violation in the general two Higgs doublet model, which leads to a non-decoupling structure of the Higgs sector. All the masses of the Higgs bosons are purely determined by the vacuum…
The CP structure of the Higgs sector will be of great interest to future colliders. The measurement of the CP properties of candidate Higgs particles will be essential in order to distinguish models of electroweak symmetry breaking, and to…
In the world with axion the precise measurement of gravitational force and check of the equivalence principle at small distances, $\lambda\sim 1cm$ and less, could provide an additional test of CP symmetry. Using the chiral approach, we…
We study the possibility that CP is spontaneously broken in the Minimal Supersymmetric Model when radiative corrections to the Higgs potential are included. We show that this can only occur if a light Higgs boson exists. Considering the…
We consider spontaneous CP violation in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, without the usual $Z_3$ discrete symmetry. CP violation can occur at tree level, raising a potential conflict with the experimental bounds on the…
Axions are introduced to explain the observed smallness of the $\bar \theta $ term of QCD. Standard Model extensions typically contain new sources of CP violation, for instance to account for the baryon asymmetry of the universe. In the…
We study a two-Higgs-doublet model with four generalised CP symmetries in the scalar sector. Electroweak symmetry breaking leads automatically to spontaneous breaking of two of them. We require that these four CP symmetries can be extended…
We investigate spatial behaviors of the CP-violating angle $\theta$ by solving the equation of motion of the two-Higgs-doublet model in the presence of a small explicit CP breaking $\delta$. The moduli of the two Higgs scalars are fixed to…
Schwinger operator method is applied for studying CP-odd pure gluonic effective Lagrangian in the Standard Model at three-loop level. The induced $\theta$-term vanishes by the same reasons as EDMs of quark and W-boson to two-loop…
We perform a comprehensive study of the Higgs sector in the framework of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model with CP-violating parameters in the superpotential and in the soft-supersymmetry-breaking sector. Since the CP is no…
We demonstrate that the relative size of the CP-even and CP-odd couplings of a Higgs boson to $t\anti t$ can be determined at the LHC at a level that is very useful in discriminating between models, provided that a Higgs signal can be…
We discuss and compare the charge-parity (CP) asymmetry in the charged Higgs boson decays H -> \bar{u}_i d_j for the second and third generation quarks in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. As part of the analysis, we derive some…
We re-evaluate the decays of the Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) where the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by the loop effects of the third-generation squarks with…
In a more general electroweak theory, there could be Higgs particles that are odd under $CP$. When such particles decay via vector bosons to two fermion-antifermion pairs, the momenta of those will be correlated in a way which is determined…
Working in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, we study chirality-flipping couplings of the top quark to Higgs and gauge bosons. We discuss in detail the renormalization group evolution to lower energies and…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation, associated production of the lightest Higgs boson with heavier ones is analyzed. Due to explicit CP violation, the Higgs bosons are no longer CP eigenstates so that…
Most studies of Higgs sector CP violation focus on the detection of CP-violating neutral Higgs-fermion Yukawa couplings, which yield P-odd, CP-violating phenomena. There is some literature on purely bosonic signatures of Higgs sector CP…
We briefly comment on the question of spontaneous CP violation for several models of weak interactions. We focus on one of the minimal extensions of the Standard Model where spontaneous CP violation is viable,the next-to-minimal…
We present a solution to the strong CP problem, which relies on the horizontal gauge symmetry and CP invariance in a full theory. Similar to other Nelson-Barr type solutions, CP violation in both the strong and weak sectors in the Standard…
