A brief and personal overview of some theoretical aspects of lepton flavor physics is presented, with a focus on the canonical seesaw mechanism and Majorana nature of massive neutrinos.
The standard model picture of flavor and CP violation is now experimentally verified, hence strong bounds on the flavor structure of new physics follow. We begin by discussing in detail the unique way that flavor conversion and CP violation…
Starting from the original Majorana's article of 1937, the see-saw mechanism is illustrated, first for one and later for three neutrino generations, and neutrinoless double beta decay is considered. Neutrino mixing and oscillations in three…
In this manuscript, based on arXiv:2209.00276, I present a model which can simultaneously explain and connect the flavour hierarchies of the Standard Model with flavour anomalies in $B$-physics. I will briefly introduce the model and…
If the mechanism of Supersymmetry breaking is not flavour blind, some flavour symmetry is likely to be needed to prevent excessive flavour changing neutral current effects. We discuss two flavour models (based respectively on a U(2) and on…
The LHC physics era is about to commence; here we discuss a complementary physics program that would be realized at a high luminosity flavor factory. A flavor factory experiment can search for new physics in CP asymmetries, inclusive decay…
We report recent work on the interplay of collider and flavour physics regarding the search for physics beyond the Standard Model.
In the first part of the talk the flavor physics input to models beyond the Standard Model is described. One specific example of such a new physics model is given: a model with bulk fermions in one non-factorizable extra dimension. In the…
Flavour physics observables are excellent probes of new physics up to very high energy scales. Here we present FlavBit, the dedicated flavour physics module of the global-fitting package GAMBIT. FlavBit includes custom implementations of…
In this article I review some aspects of flavour phenomenology in the MSSM. After an overview of various flavour observables I discuss the constraints on the off-diagonal elements of the squark mass matrices. In this context I present the…
The flavor puzzles remain among the most compelling open questions in particle physics. The striking hierarchies observed in the masses and mixing of charged fermions define the Standard Model (SM) flavor puzzle, a profound structural…

I give a theory motivation for future measurements in quark flavour physics, trying to identify observables, which are less familiar, but nevertheless interesting and promising.
The LHCb experiment is designed for hadronic flavour physics and will look for New Physics manifestations in the decay of charm and bottom hadrons abundantly produced at the LHC. All parts of the LHCb physics programme can be embarked on…
I review the phenomenology of new physics in low energy processes using the notion of minimal flavor violation (vs. non-minimal flavor violation). I compare the predictions of beyond-the-standard models and show that among certain…
The future of flavour physics and CP violation in the quark, lepton and Higgs sectors are discussed, particularly from the viewpoint of physics beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry. Current issues in B to pi^+ pi^-, phi K_s and…
In these four lectures I review the theory and phenomenology of weak decays of quarks, and their r\^ole in the determination of the parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics, in testing subtle features of the theory and in…
