We propose a new mechanism called "real CP violation" to originate spontaneous CP violation. Starting with a CP conserving theory with scalar fields in the adjoint representation of a global or local non-abelian symmetry, we show that even…
We find that, at the one-loop level, the spontaneous CP violation is possible in a supersymmetric standard model that has an extra chiral Higgs triplet with hypercharge Y=0. At the tree level, this triplet-extended supersymmetric standard…
We propose a model of spontaneous CP violation to address the strong CP problem in warped extra dimensions that relies on sequestering flavor and CP violation. We assume that brane-localized Higgs Yukawa interactions respect a U(3) flavor…
A scenario is suggested for spontaneous CP violation in non-SUSY and SUSY- SO(10). The idea is to have a scalar potential which generates spontaneously a phase, at the high scale, in the VEV that gives a mass to the RH neutrinos. As a…
Recent progress in the determination of hadronic matrix elements has revealed a tension between the measured value of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}/\epsilon_K$, which quantifies direct $CP$ violation in $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, and the Standard-Model…
A left-right model with spontaneous $CP$ breakdown, consistent with the particle physics phenomenology, is presented. Constraints on free parameters of the model: mass of the new right handed gauge boson $M_2$ and ratio $r$ of the two…
We propose an alternative to the axion mechanism for addressing the charge parity (CP) problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Our approach involves imposing CP as an inherent symmetry of the Lagrangian, which is then spontaneously broken.…
The Standard Model for CP violation, the CKM model, works very well in explaining all laboratory experimental data. However, this model does not address the question that where it comes from. The origin of CP violation is still a mystery.…
By studying the effective potential of the MSSM at finite temperature, we find that CP can be spontaneously broken in the intermediate region between the symmetric and broken phases separated by the bubble wall created at the phase…
A scenario is suggested for spontaneous CP violation in non-SUSY and SUSY SU(10). The idea is to have a scalar potential which generates spontaneously a phase, at the high scale, in the VEV that gives a mass to the RH neutrinos. The case of…
It has been shown that QED in (1+4)-dimensional space-time, with the fifth dimension compactified on a circle, leads to CP violation (CPV). Depending on fermionic boundary conditions, CPV may be either explicit (through the Scherk--Schwarz…
We calculate the CP-violating effects in the top quark semi-leptonic three body decays induced by the supersymmetric CP-odd phase of the top squark trilinear soft breaking term $\arg(A_t)$. The light top squark mass is assumed to be close…
We present a solution to the strong CP problem based on spontaneous CP violation and discrete family symmetries. The model predicts in a natural way the almost right-angled quark unitarity triangle angle ($\alpha \simeq 90^\circ$) by making…
It is shown that in the scheme with a rotating fermion mass matrix (i.e. one with a scale-dependent orientation in generation space) suggested earlier for explaining fermion mixing and mass hierarchy, the theta-angle term in the QCD action…
A supersymmetric generalization of the Peccei-Quinn mechanism is proposed in which two U(1) CP violating phases of the supersymmetric standard model are promoted to dynamical variables. This amounts to postulating the existence of…
We analyze CP violation in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with heavy scalar fermions of the first two generations. Neglecting intergenerational mixing in the sfemion mass matrices and thus considering only chargino, charged…
I show, in the framework of a SU(2)left x U(1) gauge theory for J=0 mesons expressed as scalar or pseudoscalar di-quark fields, that: - the existence, at the fermionic level, of a complex mixing matrix of the Kobayashi-Maskawa type is not a…
We present a solution to the strong CP problem based on the identification of the theta angle with twice the CP violating phase present in the CKM quark matrix. This solution washes out all the unwanted issues stemming form the strong CP…
This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…
Using a left-right symmetric model with Spontaneous CP Violation and the hypothesis of a weakly first order electroweak phase transition we derive a relation between the produced baryon asymmetry and the observed parameter $\varepsilon$,…
