We study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational model where local Lorentz invariance is broken down to the subgroup of spatial rotations by a vacuum expectation value of a timelike vector field called aether.…
A tiny Lorentz symmetry breaking can be mediated in Electrodynamics by means of the Chern-Simons (CS) interaction polarized along a constant CS vector. Its presence makes the vacuum optically active that has been recently estimated from…
Theories of low-energy Lorentz violation by a fixed-norm "aether" vector field with two-derivative kinetic terms have a globally bounded Hamiltonian and are perturbatively stable only if the vector is timelike and the kinetic term in the…
We study the dimensional reduction for a $(3+1)$-dimensional Lorentz Violating Lagrangian in the matter and gauge sectors in a Supersymmetric scenario. We thus obtain an effective model for photons induced by the effects of supersymmetry in…

We propose a new mechanism for generating a CP phase via Higgs a vacuum expectation value originating from geometry of an extra dimension. A twisted boundary condition is the key to produce an extra-dimension coordinate-dependent vacuum…
We further study the "complementary" Ansatz, Tr$(M_\nu)$=0, for a prediagonal light Majorana type neutrino mass matrix. Previously, this was studied for the CP conserving case and the case where the two Majorana type CP violating phases…

We study the CP violation effects from two types of neutrino mass matrices with (i) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=0$, and (ii) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=(M_\nu)_{e\mu}=0$, which can be realized by the high dimensional lepton number violating operators $\bar…
We study the dynamical mass generation in Pseudo Quantum Electrodynamics (PQED) coupled to the Gross-Neveu (GN) interaction, in (2+1) dimensions, at both zero and finite temperatures. We start with a gapless model and show that, under…
The Non-Commutative (NC) CP(1) model is studied from field theory perspective. Our formalism and definition of the NC CP(1) model differs crucially from the existing one \cite{nccp}. Due to the U(1) gauge invariance, the Seiberg-Witten map…
Inspired in discussions presented lately regarding Lorentz-violating interaction terms in \cite{13,6}, we propose here a slightly different version for the coupling term. We will consider a modified quantum electrodynamics with violation of…
We investigate the $\theta$-dependence of 2-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ models in the large-$N$ limit by lattice simulations. Thanks to a recent algorithm proposed by M. Hasenbusch to improve the critical slowing down of topological modes,…
The mechanism of elementary particle mass generation is a fundamental issue of physics. While cardinal progress has recently been achieved in the case of leptons and current quarks through the Brout-Engler-Higgs mechanism, this issue is at…
We discuss the notion of mass, mostly for fermions, and its relation to the breaking of CP invariance, the natural symmetry of gauge interactions. In a first model, we show how compactification on a Vortex in 2 extra dimensions leads to a…
