We give a consistent definition of generalised CP transformations in the context of discrete flavour symmetries. Non-trivial consistency conditions imply that every generalised CP transformation can be interpreted as a representation of an…
The formalism of combined finite modular and generalised CP (gCP) symmetries for theories of flavour is developed. The corresponding consistency conditions for the two symmetry transformations acting on the modulus $\tau$ and on the matter…
CP is a symmetry of pure gauge theories, that is without scalar interactions. Actually its violation originates in the Standard Model from the completely arbitrary Yukawa couplings. Thus, as the unification principle would wash out the…
We analyze loop-induced group-like symmetries in theories where fields are labeled by basis elements of a fusion algebra constructed from the conjugacy classes of finite groups. Although the fusion rules for conjugacy classes are in general…
We study the implications of generalized CP transformations acting on the mass matrices of charged leptons in a model-independent way. Generalized $e-\mu$, $e-\tau$ and $\mu-\tau$ symmetries are considered in detail. In all cases the…
We investigate coupling selection rules in heterotic string theory on non-Abelian orbifolds. Since boundary conditions on the orbifolds are classified by conjugacy classes of space group elements, non-Abelian orbifolds give rise to…
We analyze generalized CP symmetries of two-Higgs doublet models, extending them from the scalar to the fermion sector of the theory. We show that, with a single exception, those symmetries imply massless fermions. The single model which…
We discuss the origin of CP violation in settings with a discrete (flavor) symmetry $G$. We show that physical CP transformations always have to be class-inverting automorphisms of $G$. This allows us to categorize finite groups into three…
It is explained that the Standard Model combined charge conjugation and parity transformation (CP) is a simultaneous complex conjugation outer automorphism transformation of gauge and space-time symmetries. Simple examples are given for the…
The formalism of non-holomorphic modular flavor symmetry is developed, and the Yukawa couplings are level $N$ polyharmonic Maa{\ss} forms satisfying the Laplacian condition. We find that the integer (even) weight polyharmonic Maa{\ss} forms…
We discuss a class of selection rules which i) do not come from group actions on fields, ii) are exact at tree level in perturbation theory, iii) are increasingly violated as the loop order is raised, and iv) eventually reduce to selection…
We study the coupling selection rules associated with non-group symmetries, i.e., $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauging of $\mathbb{Z}_M$ symmetries. We clarify which Yukawa textures can be derived by our selection rules for $M=3, 4$, and 5, and obtain…
We provide a classification of generalized CP symmetries preserved by the neutrino mass matrix according to the number of zero entries in the associated transformation matrix. We determine the corresponding constrained form of the lepton…
We propose that the flavor structure of the quark sector of the Standard Model is determined by a vectorial SU(2) flavor symmetry, which we dub Flavorspin, under which quarks transform as triplets. The fundamental Yukawa couplings are real…
We show that the quark flavour structure and CP violating phenomena are strongly correlated in supersymmetric theories. For a generic pattern of supersymmetry breaking the two broad categories of Yukawa couplings, democratic and…
We study the possibilities to define CP and parity in general gauge theories by utilizing the intimate connection of these discrete symmetries with the group of automorphisms of the gauge Lie algebra. Special emphasis is put on the scalar…
We classify explicitly all the possible generalized CP (GCP) symmetries that are definable in $\Delta(27)$ flavor models. In total, only 12 transformations are possible. We also show interesting consequences of considering some of them as…
Non-invertible symmetries in quantum field theory (QFT) generalize the familiar product rule of groups to a more general fusion rule. In many cases, gauged versions of these symmetries can be regarded as dual descriptions of invertible…
We study fusion rings, or symmetry topological field theories (SymTFTs), which lie outside the non-negative integer matrix representation (NIM-rep), by combining knowledge from generalized symmetry and that from pseudo-Hermitian systems. By…
We formulate a general prescription for spurion analysis in particle-physics models whose selection rules are described by commutative non-invertible fusion algebras. The construction applies to fusion algebras containing non-invertible…
