A review of CP violation from the Standard Model to strings is given which includes a broad landscape of particle physics models, encompassing the non-supersymmetric 4D extensions of the standard model, and models based on supersymmetry, on…
In this review I classify the possible ways of CPT violation, and I describe briefly their phenomenology, in both terrestrial and astrophysical experiments, including antimatter factories, neutral mesons and neutrinos, and discuss the…
Quantum gravity places important consistency conditions on low-energy effective field theory, such as the absence of global symmetries. These may have important consequences in the search for particle physics beyond the Standard Model. We…
We review seven models, which consistently couple quantum matter and (Newtonian) gravity in a non standard way. For each of them we present the underlying motivations, the main equations and, when available, a comparison with experimental…
We study four different models for CP violation: the standard (KM) model, the aspon model of spontaneous breaking and two models of soft breaking. In all except the standard model, the strong CP problem is addressed and solved. Testable…
I review several different calculations, coming from string theory, nonperturbative quantum gravity and analyses of black holes that lead to predictions of phenomena that would uniquely be signatures of quantum gravitational effects. These…
Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) generically introduce new sources of CP violation, which can induce observable $P$-odd and $T$-odd permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nuclei, atoms, and molecules. A future observation of…
In this lecture first I present a brief genesis of the ideas on the electroweak baryogenesis and then I focus on a mechanism in which the source of $CP$ violation is a $CP$-violating field condensate which could occur, for example, in…
It is shown that effects of CP violation arise in neutrino-photon scattering. Several CP-violating $\nu\gamma$ reactions are considered within the Standard Model and predictions for some observables are made. It is emphasized that…
This is a short review of the proposal that CP violation may be due to the fact that certain finite groups do not admit a physical CP transformation. This origin of CP violation is realized in explicit string compactifications exhibiting…
Three symmetry constraints on the CP violations in QCD are discussed in this paper. In order to generate CP violating observables from QCD, these constraints require: (1) spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, (2) explicit chiral symmetry…
A formulation of quantum electrodynamics is proposed, in which the local law of conservation of electric charge serves as the source of the gauge condition. The equations of motion of the gauge variable and the density of the charge…
Quantum Electrodynamics can be formulated as the theory of an antisymmetric tensor gauge field. In this formulation the topological current of this field appears as an additional source for the electromagnetic field. The topological charge…
In this talk I review briefly theoretical models and ideas on quantum gravity approaches entailing CPT violation. Then, I discuss various phenomenological tests of CPT violation using neutrinos, arguing in favour of their superior…

The most important problem of fundamental Physics is the quantization of the gravitational field. A main difficulty is the lack of available experimental tests that discriminate among the theories proposed to quantize gravity. Recently we…
We consider CP-violating effects in tau->K pi pi nu_tau, assuming that a charged Higgs boson provides a new amplitude that can interfere with the usual Standard Model amplitude. We consider four CP-odd observables -- the regular rate…
We review CP violation in various extensions of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. A particular emphasis is put on supersymmetric models. We describe the two CP problems of supersymmetry, concerning $d_N$ and $\epsilon_K$. We…

The CP-violating charge asymmetry in decays K+- --> \pi+- \gamma\gamma, which is induced by the electromagnetic penguin operators, has been studied both in thestandard model and in its extensions. Because of a large enhancement of the…
