We discuss a possible solution to the strong CP problem which is based on spontaneous CP violation and discrete symmetries. At the same time we predict in a simple way the almost right-angled quark unitarity triangle angle ($\alpha \simeq…
The \mu parameter of the supersymmetric standard model is replaced by \lambda S, where S is a singlet chiral superfield, introducing a Peccei--Quinn symmetry into the theory. Dynamics at the electroweak scale naturally solves both the…
It is a well--known problem that in supersymmetric models there are new CP--violating phases which, if unsuppressed, would give a neutron electric dipole moment $10^2$ to $10^3$ times the present experimental limit. Here we propose that…
It is pointed out that the strong CP problem may have a natural solution in the context of a recently proposed dualized version of the Standard Model where Higgs fields and generations emerge naturally. Although fermions have finite…
The strong CP problem can be solved in Parity symmetric theories with electroweak gauge group containing $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ broken by the minimal Higgs content. Neutrino masses may be explained by adding the same number of gauge…
We investigate a recent solution to the strong CP problem, obtaining a theta-angle of order unity, and show that a smooth trajectory of the massive eigenvector of a rank-one rotating mass matrix is consistent with the experimental data for…
We propose a theoretical justification for the anomalous Higgs couplings without extending the particle content of the Standard Model, but rather assuming different realization of the electroweak symmetry and the representation of the Higgs…
We undertake a comprehensive investigation of the properties of the sphaleron in electroweak theories with two Higgs doublets. We do this in as model-independent a way as possible: by exploring the physical parameter space described by the…
Assuming CP violation arises solely through the Higgs potential, we develop the most general two-Higgs doublet model. There is no discrete symmetry that distinguishes the two Higgs bosons. It is assumed that an approximate global family…
We study the Higgs sector of supersymmetric models containing two Higgs doublets with a light MSSM-like CP odd Higgs, $m_A \lesssim 10$ GeV, and $\tan \beta \lesssim 2.5$. In this scenario all Higgses resulting from two Higgs doublets:…
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model by adding two Higgs triplets and a complex scalar singlet to its particle content. In this framework, the CP symmetry is spontaneously broken at high energies by the complex vacuum…
The SUSY CP problem in the framework of gauge mediated SUSY breaking model is considered. We first discuss the electric dipole moments of the electron and neutron, which are likely to be larger than the experimental upper bound if all the…
We exhibit a solution to the strong CP problem in which ultraviolet physics renders the QCD theta angle physically unobservable. Our models involve new strong interactions beyond QCD and particles charged under both the new interactions and…
Conditions for CP violation in the scalar potential sector of general N-Higgs-doublet models (NHDMs) are analyzed from a group theoretical perspective. For the simplest two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) potential, a minimum set of conditions…
The existence in the physical QCD vacuum of nonzero gluon condensates, such as $<g^2F^2>$, requires dominance of gluon fields with finite mean action density. This naturally allows any real number value for the unit ``topological charge''…
We investigate for two-Higgs doublet models with intrinsic CP violation in the scalar potential CP-nonconserving effects in unpolarized $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow t \bar{t} $ for a range of neutral Higgs boson masses which includes resonant…
We explore the parameter space of the type-II two-Higgs-doublet model with softly broken Z2 symmetry, allowing for CP violation in the scalar potential. Imposing theory-motivated and experimentally-driven constraints, we show that as the…
CP violation in semileptonic top-quark decay is investigated by exactly using one charged- and three neutral-Higgs bosons obtained by solving the Higgs mass matrix in two-Higgs doublet model. The CP-violating up-down asymmetry of leptons…
We investigate a potentially large CP violating asymmetry in the neutral Higgs boson decay into a heavy quark pair or a $W^+$--$W^-$ pair. The source of the CP nonconservation is in the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson which can contain…
Split supersymmetry is characterized by relatively light chargino and neutralino sector and very heavy sfermion sector. We study the consequence of CP violation in this scenario by evaluating two-loop contributions to electric dipole…
