Quantum gravity introduces a new source of the combined parity (CP) violation in gauge theories. We argue that this new CP violation gets bundled with the strong CP violation through the coloured gravitational instantons. Consequently, the…
We review CP violation in various extensions of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. A particular emphasis is put on supersymmetric models. We describe the two CP problems of supersymmetry, concerning $d_N$ and $\epsilon_K$. We…
Recent claims have suggested the absence of CP violation in theories with a $\theta$-vacuum structure, particularly in quantum chromodynamics. We highlight several key points, from a perspective that is not widely discussed in the…
The strong CP violation problem has a long history emanating from its discovery 60 years ago in the decay of neutral kaons and subsequent experimental and theoretical studies over several decades. We review herein experimental data that…
It is shown that Randall-Sundrum model has the EDM term which violates the CP-symmetry. The comparison with the case of Kaluza-Klein theory is done. The chiral property, localization, anomaly phenomena are examined. We evaluate the bulk…
The conventional view is that a solution of the strong CP problem lies beyond QCD. A strong argument supporting this view is that the chiral expansion shows that observables depend on theta (unless a quark mass is zero); this eliminates the…
The necessary complex structures needed for CP violation are not easy to generate and, indeed, CP can be a symmetry in higher dimensional theories. In 4-dimensions CP violation argues for the existence of a scalar sector and, in its…
In this talk I review how to search for CP violation in top-quark pair production and decay using T-odd correlations. I discuss two examples which illustrate many of the relevant features: CP violation in a heavy neutral Higgs boson; and CP…
The low energy dynamics of QCD is investigated with special attention paid to the matching between QCD and chiral perturbation theory(ChPT), and also to some useful algebraic chiral operator relations which survive even when we include…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
We investigate chiral symmetry breaking and strong CP violation effects in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. We demonstrate the effect of strong CP violating terms on the phase structure at finite temperature and densities…
CP-violating asymmetries in the processes e+e- -> t tbar and gamma gamma -> ttbar can provide information about CP-violating couplings of the top quark, whose presence would signal physics beyond the standard model. Work on studies of…
In the world with axion the precise measurement of gravitational force and check of the equivalence principle at small distances, $\lambda\sim 1cm$ and less, could provide an additional test of CP symmetry. Using the chiral approach, we…
I discuss several aspects of CP non-invariance in the strongly interacting theory of quarks and gluons. I use a simple effective Lagrangian technique to map out the region of quark masses where CP symmetry is spontaneously broken. I then…
We perform a functional renormalization group analysis of a four-fermion model with $CP$ and $P$ violation to explore the nonperturbative infrared dynamics of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) within the Wilsonian renormalization group…
We derive two features of axion cosmology that may have cosmological implications, whether or not axions are dark matter: For the full range of allowed axion masses, the evolution of a cosmic axion background allows large CP violation until…
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…
We study spontaneous CP violation as a solution to the strong CP problem in left-right symmetric theories. The discrete CP symmetry is broken by a complex vacuum expectation value of a right-handed Higgs doublet. Heavy vectorlike down-type…
CP violation, which involves breaking the combined charge-conjugation (C) and parity (P) symmetries, is essential for understanding the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. It is a key feature of the Standard Model,…
On the basis of allowed local gauge symmetries, the QCD Lagrangian admits a CP-violating term proportional to the topological charge density, commonly referred to as the $\theta$ term. A priori, any value of $\theta$ is consistent with the…
