In this paper, the flavor structure of quark and lepton EDMs in the SM and beyond is investigated using tools inspired from Minimal Flavor Violation. While Jarlskog-like flavor invariants are adequate for estimating CP-violation from closed…
Flavor-changing terms with CP-violating phases in the quark sector may contribute to the hadronic electric dipole moments (EDMs). However, within the Standard Model (SM), the source of CP violation comes from the unique CKM phase, and it…

We present a complete set of new flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables. We give expressions for these "plaquette invariants", both in terms of the mixing matrix elements alone, and in terms of manifestly Jarlskog-invariant…
We study the light quark and the neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) under the assumptions that the CP source is still in the usual CKM matrix and that there is a small mixing of right-handed charged currents in the quark sector. We find…
If the neutrinos are Majorana fermions, there are at least three new, potentially observable CP-odd phases that parameterize CP-invariance violating phenomena. We currently have no information regarding any of them and know that two out of…
The dipole moments of the leptons and quarks are matrices in flavor space, which can potentially reveal as much about the flavor structure of the theory as do the mass matrices. The off-diagonal elements of the dipole matrices lead to…
We propose a novel origin for the disparity between quark and lepton flavor mixing based on the refractive nature of neutrino masses. We postulate that the fundamental mixing in both the quark and lepton sectors is CKM-like, together with…
Neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) due to single quark EDM and to the transition EDM is calculated in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Assuming that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix at the grand unification scale is the only…
Heavy New Physics models with lepton flavour-changing interactions are motivated by neutrino masses, and generically induce dipole interactions for leptons, which can be flavour-changing ($l_j\to l_i \gamma$) or flavour-diagonal (magnetic…
