The Two-Higgs-Doublet Model is considered, in its CP-non-conserving version. It is shown quantitatively how vacuum stability and tree-level unitarity in the Higgs-Higgs-scattering sector constrain the parameter space of the model. In…
Due to the large mass of top quark, CP violation in the top-quark decay is sensitive to the interactions mediated by Higgs bosons. We consider CP violation in $t\rightarrow W^+ b$ decay by calculating consistently in unitary gauge the…
The phase equivalence of the theoretical quark mixing matrix ${\bf V}^{th}$ derived from the breaking of the flavour permutational symmetry and the phenomenological parametrizations ${\bf V}^{PDG}$ and ${\bf V}^{KM}$ is explicitly…
Our knowledge of quark-flavor physics and CP violation increased tremendously over the past five years. It is confirmed that the Standard Model correctly describes the dominant parts of the observed CP-violating and flavor-changing…
We numerically study the phase structure of the two-flavor Schwinger model with matrix product states, focusing on the (1+1)-dimensional analog of the CP-violating Dashen phase in QCD. We simulate the two-flavor Schwinger model around the…
We discuss CP violation in the five dimensional $SU(3) \otimes SU(3)_{\rm color}$ gauge-Higgs unification scenario in which the fifth dimension is compactified on an orbifold $S^1 /Z_2$. It is shown that CP-violating phase appears even in…
We characterize CP violation in the SU(2)xU(1) model due to an extra vector-like quark or sequential family, giving special emphasis to the chiral limit m_{u,d,s}=0. In this limit, CP is conserved in the three generation Standard Model…
The CP-violating effects are studied in the electron-positron annihilation to produce $t\bar{t}$ pair within the Model-III of the two-Higgs-doublet extensions, which allows flavor changing neutral currents via Higgs exchanges. Complete…
We study flavor violating processes in the production or decay of a neutral pseudoscalar meson $P^0$ in the framework of a general two Higgs Doublet Model type III (2HDM-III). We use a version of the model where Yukawa interactions of…
Confining hidden sectors at the GeV scale are well motivated by asymmetric dark matter and naturalness considerations and can also give interesting collider signatures. Here we study such sectors connected to the Standard Model by a TeV…
We study $A_4 \times A_4 \times A_4$ modular symmetric flavor models to realize quark mass hierarchies and mixing angles without fine-tuning. Mass matrices are written in terms of modular forms. At modular fixed points $\tau = i\infty$ and…
In this letter, we perform an almost general analysis of flavor-mixing matrices $V_{\rm CKM}$ and $U_{\rm MNS}$ to investigate the discriminative power of CP phases by next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments. As an approximation,…
CP violation plays a very important role in nature with implications both for Particle Physics and for Cosmology. Accounting for the observed matter anti-matter asymmetry of the Universe requires the existence of new sources of CP violation…
We propose that the flavor structure of the quark sector of the Standard Model is determined by a vectorial SU(2) flavor symmetry, which we dub Flavorspin, under which quarks transform as triplets. The fundamental Yukawa couplings are real…
We discuss the formulation of the general two-Higgs doublet model type III, which incorporates flavor changing neutral scalar interactions (FCNSI) and CP violation from several sources. CP violation can arise either from Yukawa terms or…
A model based on SUSY SO(10) combined with U(2) family symmetry constructed recently by the authors is generalized to include phases in the mass matrices leading to CP violation. In contrast with the commonly used effective operator…
We work in a model where all CP violating phenomena have a common source. CP is spontaneously broken at a large scale $V$ through the phase of a complex singlet scalar. An additional $SU(2)_L$ singlet vector-like down-type quark relates…
In minimal left-right symmetric theories, the requirement of parity invariance allows only one complex phase in the Higgs potential and one in the Yukawa couplings, leading to a two-phase theory with both spontaneous and explicit CP…
We present a two-Higgs-doublet model, with a $\mathbbm{Z}_3$ symmetry, in which CP violation originates solely in a soft (dimension-2) coupling in the scalar potential, and reveals itself solely in the CKM (quark mixing) matrix. In…
Considered as a function of the quark mases, two-flavor QCD depends on three parameters, including one that is CP violating. As the masses vary to unphysical values, regions of both first- and second-order phase transitions are expected.…
