We explore spontaneous CP violation (SCPV) in the minimal non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory (GUT), with a scalar sector comprising a CP-even $45_H$, a $126_H$, and a complex $10_H$. All renormalizable couplings are real due to…

We analyze CP violation in supersymmetry with Effective Minimal Flavour Violation, as recently proposed in arXiv:1011.0730. Unlike the case of standard Minimal Flavour Violation, we show that all the phases allowed by the flavour symmetry…

Effective type I string models allow stabilization of the dilaton and moduli fields with only a single gaugino condensate. We show that, as well as breaking supersymmetry, the stabilization can spontaneously break CP. We find that this…

We examine a class of Froggatt-Nielsen models with an anomalous U(1) as the flavor dependent symmetry. Anomaly cancellation and unbroken supersymmetry impose constraints on the U(1)_X charges of the fermions and the vacuum expectation…
