The standard model (SM) has several issues related to the $CP$ violation which could give clues to search physics beyond the SM. They are a $CP$ phase in the CKM matrix, the strong $CP$ problem, $CP$ phases in the PMNS matrix and $CP$…
Three possibilities for the origin of CP violation are discussed: (1) the Standard Model in which all CP violation is due to one parameter in the CKM matrix, (2) the superweak model in which all CP violation is due to new physics and (3)…
We analyse a possible connection between CP violations in the quark and lepton sectors, parametrised by the CKM and PMNS phases. If one assumes that CP breaking arises from complex Yukawa couplings, both in the quark and lepton sectors, the…
We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with two pairs of Higgs doublets. We study the possibility of spontaneous $CP$ violation in these scenarios and present a model where the origin of $CP$ violation is soft, with all…
Taking into account the recent progress in the understanding of the lepton flavour effects in leptogenesis, we investigate in detail the possibility that the CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe…
It is shown that a two-Higgs doublet model with Vacuum CP Violation and Approximate Global $U(1)$ Family Symmetries (AGUFS) may provide one of the simplest and attractive models in understanding origin and mechanisms of CP violation at the…
I review some aspects related with the connections between neutrino physics and the thermal leptogenesis mechanism for the generation of the cosmological baryon asymmetry of the Universe. A special attention is devoted to the problem of…
Spontaneous CP violation, such as the Nelson-Barr (NB) mechanism, is an attractive scenario for addressing the strong CP problem while realizing the observed phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix. However, not…
In this study, we numerically show that automatic Nelson-Barr models with new chiral fermions can simultaneously solve the strong CP problem and generate the observed baryon asymmetry via high-scale leptogenesis. In these models, all CP…
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…
The relation between leptogenesis and CP violation at low energies is analyzed in detail in the framework of the minimal seesaw mechanism. Working, without loss of generality, in a weak basis where both the charged lepton and the…
We extend an earlier model for radiatively generated fermion masses based on the Pati-Salam group to include CP violation. Spontaneous CP violation in the early universe gives rise to a complex mass matrix for heavy sterile neutrinos. The…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
We study effects of CP violation in a modified bipair neutrino mixing scheme predicting $\sin^2\theta_{23}$ near both 0.4 and 0.6 currently consistent with experimentally allowed values. The source of CP violation is supplied by charged…
We investigate Nelson--Barr solutions to the strong CP problem in which spontaneous CP violation is transmitted to the Standard Model through mixing with a vector-like partner of the SM quark doublet. We show that these constructions…
We formulate the necessary conditions for a scalar potential to exhibit spontaneous CP violation. Associated with each complex scalar field is a U(1) symmetry that may be explicitly broken by terms in the scalar potential (called spurions).…
In a recent publication, we suggested a mechanism for obtaining dynamical CP violation in the early Universe based on the out-of-equilibrium evolution of complex scalar fields. In this paper, we suggest several ways of transferring the CP…
In order to understand some frameworks for CP Violation scenarios in the scalar sector, a 331 model was considered which its main property is the incorporation of a local group symmetry SU(3) in the electroweak sector. In particular, a 331…
We build a model containing two scalar doublets and a scalar singlet with a specific discrete symmetry. After spontaneous symmetry breaking, the model has Standard Model-like phenomenology, as well as a hidden scalar sector which provides a…
We compute the CP violation in the decays of heavy electroweak singlet neutrinos, arising from both the one--loop vertex corrections and the wave function mixing. We extend the computation to the supersymmetric version of the model and…
