The scalar potential of the N-Higgs-doublet model (NHDM) is best analyzed not in the space of N complex doublets $\phi_a$ but in the $N^2$-dimensional space of real-valued bilinears constructed of $\phi_a^\dagger \phi_b$. In particular,…
We have explored properties of an extension of the Inert Doublet Model by the addition of an extra non-inert scalar doublet. The model offers a possibility of CP violation in the scalar sector and a candidate for the Dark Matter. Allowed…
Conditions for spontaneous Charge-Parity (CP) violation in the scalar potential sector of general $S(3)$ Higgs-doublet model (3HDM) are analyzed. An analysis of the Higgs sector of the minimal $S(3)$-invariant extension of the Standard…
We study the explicit $CP$ violation of the Higgs sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a gauge singlet Higgs field. The magnitude of $CP$ violation is discussed in the limiting cases of $x\gg v_1,\ v_2$ and $x\ll v_1,\…
We study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) in which two copies of the SM Higgs doublet are added to the scalar sector. These extra doublets do not develop a vacuum expectation value, hence, they are \textit{inert}. This essentially…
Searches for additional sources of CP violation at the Large Hadron Collider are a central part of the Higgs physics programme beyond the Standard Model. Studies employing so-called signed observables that track CP violation through…
The most general Higgs potential of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) contains three squared-mass parameters and seven quartic self-coupling parameters. Among these, one squared-mass parameter and three quartic coupling parameters are…
Recently, it has been found that the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential in the MSSM can be sizeably broken by loop effects due to soft-CP-violating trilinear interactions involving third generation scalar quarks. These…
We show that in the multi-Higgs extension of minimal supersymmetric standard model, which has N-pairs of Higgs doublets (called NHMSSM), it is impossible to break CP spontaneously, if we do not allow for fine-tuning relations between…
CP violation in H^\pm decays into the three possible decay modes into ordinary particles, 1) H^\pm \to tb, 2) H^\pm \to \nu \tau and 3) H^\pm \to W^\pm h^0 is considered. Analytic expressions and numerical results for the CP violating decay…
We study the CP violating ZZZ vertex in the two-Higgs doublet model, which is a probe of a Jarlskog-type invariant in the extended Higgs sector. The form factor $f_4^Z$ is evaluated at one loop in a general $R_\xi$ gauge and its magnitude…
The Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is a well-motivated theoretical framework that provides additional sources of CP Violation (CPV) beyond the Standard Model (SM). After studying the vacuum topology of a general (convex) 2HDM potential, we…
We study the simplest Two-Higgs-Doublet Model that allows for CP nonconservation, where it can be parametrized by only one parameter in the Higgs potential. Different concepts of maximal CP-nonconservation in the gauge-Higgs and the…
In this paper, we study the CP violating processes in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with tree-level flavor changing neutral currents. In this model, sizable Yukawa couplings involving top and charm quarks are still allowed by the…
We explore charged-Higgs CP-violating effects in an intriguing two-Higgs doublet model which accords special status to the top quark. In this model the heaviness of the top quark originates naturally from the much larger VEV of the second…
A helicity asymmetry for top quarks originating from Higgs boson decays is investigated within the 2-Higgs Doublet Model. The asymmetry is sensitive to CP violation in the scalar sector of the model, whereas it vanishes in the Standard…
We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with two pairs of Higgs doublets. We study the possibility of spontaneous $CP$ violation in these scenarios and present a model where the origin of $CP$ violation is soft, with all…
We consider an explicitly CP-violating model with two Higgs doublets and one complex singlet scalar. The singlet $S$ is charged under a global $\rm U(1)$ symmetry which is softly broken by a mass term $\mu^2 S^2+\hc$. Imaginary part of $S$…
The necessary complex structures needed for CP violation are not easy to generate and, indeed, CP can be a symmetry in higher dimensional theories. In 4-dimensions CP violation argues for the existence of a scalar sector and, in its…
We explore charged-Higgs cp-violating effects in a specific type III two-Higgs doublet model which is theoretically attractive as it accommodates the large mass of the top quark in a natural fashion. Two new CP-violating phases arise from…
