A general discussion is given of signals for broken Lorentz symmetry in short-baseline neutrino experiments. Among the effects that Lorentz violation can introduce are a dependence on energy differing from that of the usual massive-neutrino…
We discuss a possibility to probe right-handed weak hadronic currents in rare semileptonic b -> s transitions. It is shown that within models involving right-handed as well as left-handed quark currents (LR models) one can expect a strong…
If the Standard Model is embedded in a left-right symmetric gauge theory at the TeV scale, the pair production of light W-bosons in e^+e^- collisions, e^+e^- -> W^+W^-, will be affected by mixings in the gauge and neutrino sectors, and by…

The latest results on top quark physics, namely single top quark production cross sections, $W$-boson helicity and asymmetry measurements are used to probe the Lorentz structure of the $Wtb$ vertex. The increase of sensitivity to new…
The difference between left- and right-handed particles is perhaps one of the most puzzling aspects of the Standard Model (SM). In left-right models (LRMs) the symmetry between left- and right-handed particles can be restored at high…
We investigate a charge asymmetry in $t \bar t \gamma$ production at the LHC that provides complementary information to the measured asymmetries in $t \bar t$ production. We estimate the experimental uncertainty in its measurement at the…
In the minimal Left-Right model the choice of left-right symmetry is twofold: either generalized parity $\mathcal P$ or charge conjugation $\mathcal C$. In the minimal model with spontaneously broken strict $\mathcal P$, a large tree-level…

We present a new way to break parity symmetry in left-right symmetric models using boundary conditions on the fields residing in the fifth dimension. We also discuss the connection between the limits on the size of extra dimensions and the…
Left-right symmetric models are analyzed in the context of noncommutative geometry where we show that spontaneous parity violation is ruled out.
If supersymmetry is realized with spontaneous breaking of R-parity, there will be important consequences in several different areas which can be tested through different types of experiments. In this talk we review the phenomenological…
We study the effect of lepton number violation (LNV) on baryon asymmetry, generated in the early Universe, in the presence of a dark sector with a global symmetry $U(1)_X$, featuring asymmetric dark matter (ADM). We show that in general…
We point out that the recent excess observed in searches for a right-handed gauge boson W_R at CMS can be explained in a left-right symmetric model with D parity violation. In a class of SO(10) models, in which D parity is broken at a high…
We construct a left-right symmetric model based on the gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}$ in five dimensions where both the gauge bosons and fermions reside in all five dimensions. The orbifold boundary conditions are used…

Left-right (LR) symmetric theories predict right-handed charged currents whose flavor structure encodes the realization of parity. While the right-handed quark mixing matrix closely tracks its left-handed counterpart, the leptonic sector…
