We investigate the phenomenological constraints on a model where, besides the standard model Higgs sector, there is an effective new strong interaction acting on the third generation of quarks and characterized by a $\theta$-like term. This…
We discuss our study of QCD in the presence of CP-odd electromagnetic (e.m.) background fields. We investigate the propagation of the CP-odd term from the e.m. sector to the strong sector, inducing an effective $\theta$ term. We discuss the…
We study kinetic mixing between massless U(1)s in toroidal orbifolds with D3-branes at orbifold singularities. We focus in particular on C^3/Z_4 singularities but also study C^3/Z_6 and C^3/Z'_6 singularities. We find kinetic mixing can be…
An overview of flavour physics and CP-violating phenomena is presented. The Standard Model quark-mixing mechanism is discussed in detail and its many successful experimental tests are summarized. Flavour-changing transitions put very…
CP(N-1) model with topological term is numerically studied. The topological charge distribution P(Q) is calculated and then transformed to the partition function Z($\theta$) as a function of $\theta$ parameter. In the strong coupling…
We present a new mechanism to solve the strong CP problem using $N\geq2$ axions, each dynamically relaxing part of the $\bar\theta$ parameter. At high energies $M\gg\Lambda_{QCD}$ the $SU(3)_{c}$ group becomes the diagonal subgroup of an…
Assuming that the axion mechanism of solving the strong CP problem does not exist and the vanishing of theta at tree level is achieved by some model-building means, we study the naturalness of having large CP-violating sources in the…
We consider chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) with a non-zero theta term. Due to the CP violating term, the vacuum of chiral fields is shifted to a non-trivial element on the SU(N_f) group manifold. The CP violation also provides mixing of…
Nonzero and relatively large of $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle has some phenomenological consequences on neutrino physics beyond the standard model. One of the consequences if the mixing angle $\theta_{13}\neq 0$ is the possibility of the CP…
We propose the complex group theoretical Clebsch-Gordon coefficients as a novel origin of CP violation. This is manifest in our model based on SU(5) combined with the double tetrahedral group, T'. Due to the presence of the doublet…
We investigate a composite model of spontaneous CP violation based on a new supersymmetric QCD as a solution to the strong CP problem. The scalar components of the meson chiral superfields obtain complex vacuum expectation values to break…
The recent results from T2K and MINOS experiments point towards a relatively large value of the reactor angle \theta_13 in the lepton sector. In this paper we show how a large \theta_13 can arise from the charged lepton sector alone in the…
In the effective field theory framework, we consider the effect of supersymmetry breaking via gaugino condensation and supergravity in the hidden sector gauge group on the hidden sector vacuum angle $\theta_h$. The $\theta_h$ parameter…
A dynamical scheme where the third generation of quarks plays a distinctive role is implemented. New interactions with a $\theta$ term induce the breaking of the electroweak symmetry and the top-bottom mass splitting. A large CP-violating…
These lectures discuss the $\theta$ parameter of QCD. After an introduction to anomalies in four and two dimensions, the parameter is introduced. That such topological parameters can have physical effects is illustrated with two dimensional…
We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the presence of a large CP violation in the squark sector of the MSSM. When the CP violation is large, scalar-pseudoscalar mixing of the Higgs bosons occurs and a large CP violation in the…
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…
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…
In view of the latest T2K and MINOS observations regarding the mixing angle s_{13}, we have explored the possibility of existence of CP violation in the leptonic sector. Using hints from the construction of the 'db' unitarity triangle in…
The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum…
