Supersymmetric CP violating phases are examined within the framework of gravity mediated supergravity grand unified models with R parity invariance for models with a light ($\stackrel{<}{\sim} 1$ TeV) particle spectrum. In the minimal…
We propose a dynamical model with a (2 + 1)-structure of composite Higgs doublets: two nearly degenerate composites of the fourth family quarks t' and b', $\Phi_{t^{\prime}} \sim \bar{t^{\prime}}_{R}(t^{\prime},b^{\prime})_L$ and…
In the Standard Model with a fourth generation of quarks, we study the relation between the Jarlskog invariants and the triangle areas in the 4-by-4 CKM matrix. To identify the leading effects that may probe the CP violation in processes…
We study the possibility of identifying the CP violating phases in the PMNS mixing matrix in the lepton sector and also that in the CKM mixing matrix in the quark sector with the phase responsible for the spontaneous CP violation in the…
We review the status of and recent developments in dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, concentrating on the ideas of technicolour and top quark condensates. The emphasis is on the essential physical ideas and experimental implications…
We find in theories with spontaneous P and CP violation that symmetries needed to set the tree level strong CP phase to zero can also set all non-zero tree level CP violating phases to the maximal value \pi / 2 in the symmetry basis…
Solutions of the Strong CP Problem based on the spontaneous breaking of CP must feature a non-generic structure and simultaneously explain a coincidence between a priori unrelated CP-even and CP-odd mass scales. We show that these…
We investigate baryogenesis at a first order electroweak phase transition in the presence of a CP violating condensate on the bubble walls, in the regime in which the bubble walls are `thick', in the sense that fermions interact with the…
The discovery of leptonic CP violation is one of the primary goals of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, which is feasible due to the recent measurement of a relatively large leptonic mixing angle \theta_{13}. We suggest two…
We consider effective Lagrangian models of CP-violating vertex structure in which a $b -> uW$ vertex, proportional to $s_{13}e^{-i\delta_{13}}$ with $s_{13}$ very small (milliweak interaction) and $\delta_{13}$ large, is dynamically…
We briefly review the cases of forced and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. In particular the chiral condensate of q anti-q pairs is parametrized with two angles, phi which measures the chiral condensation, and theta which measures the…
A seesaw mechanism is presented in the neutrino sector and a new phase of CP violation ($\alpha$) emerges in the interplay between the type-I and type-III seesaw schemes. This phase is inside the mixing term, and thus it cannot be rotated…
Three aspects of supersymmetric theories are discussed: electroweak symmetry breaking, the issues of flavor, and gauge unification. The heavy top quark plays an important, sometimes dominant, role in each case. Additional symmetries lead to…
QCD admits a contribution to the action, the $\theta$ term, which potentially gives rise to nontrivial phases and violates CP. This is essentially a question of how the vacuum reacts to the $\theta$ term. In this talk I will address the…
In explicit CP violation scenario of the minimal non-minimal supersymmetric standard model (MNMSSM), the possibility of a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is investigated at the one-loop level, where the radiative…
A new interaction that confines the top quark at the electroweak scale is proposed to account for a top quark mass potentially close in value to the electroweak scale.
CP violation in the field of $B$ physics is a crucial topic for exploring the quark sector and search for New Physics, both for theorists and experimentalists. CP violation manifests itself in various ways and in this presentation, we will…
Adding a fourth generation to the Standard Model and assuming it to be valid up to some cutoff \Lambda, we show that electroweak symmetry is broken by radiative corrections due to the fourth generation. The effects of the fourth generation…
We consider the maximal U(3) horizontal scheme as a handle on fermion masses and mixings. In particular, we attempt to explain the large top Yukawa coupling and the masses and mixing in the two heaviest generations. A simple model is…
We propose a democratic-type neutrino mass matrix based on $Z_3$ symmetry. This mass matrix predicts the CP violation phase, $\delta=\pi/2$, and the mixing angle between the mass eigenstates $\nu_2$ and $\nu_3$, $\sin^2 \theta_{23}= \cos^2…
