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…
In vacuum or constant density matter, the two flavor neutrino oscillation formulae are insensitive to the presence of CP violating phases owing to the fact that the CP phase can be gauged away. In sharp contrast to the above case, we show…
This talk outlines some results for gravitational theories with local Lorentz violation in the context of the Lorentz- and CPT-violating Standard-Model Extension.
Supersymmetric models with bilinear R-parity violation (BRpV) provide a framework for neutrino masses and mixing angles to explain neutrino oscillation data. We consider CP violation within the new physical phases in BRpV and discuss their…
The gravitational couplings of matter are studied in the presence of Lorentz and CPT violation. At leading order in the coefficients for Lorentz violation, the relativistic quantum hamiltonian is derived from the gravitationally coupled…
We test Bohr's complementary relation, which captures the most counterintuitive difference of a classical and a quantum world, for single and bipartite neutral kaons. They present a system that is naturally interfering, oscillating and…
CP asymmetries for neutrino oscillations in matter can be disentangled into the matter-induced CPT-odd (T-invariant) component and the genuine T-odd (CPT-invariant) component. For their understanding in terms of the relevant ingredients, we…
In this work, we investigate gravitational baryogenesis in the framework of $f(P)$ gravity to understand the applicability of this class of modified gravity in addressing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. For the analysis, we set $f(P)…
The objection [arXiv:1103.0168] to my theorem [arXiv:hep-ph/0201258] that violation of $CPT$ symmetry implies violation of Lorentz covariance is based on a nonlocal model in which time-ordered products are not well defined. I used…
In this work, the CPT-violating (CPTV) interactions on neutrons' gravitational bound state are studied. With simple analytical solutions, we provide a preliminary investigation on the Lorentz-violation (LV) induced spin precession due to…
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…
An interacting theory that violates CPT invariance necessarily violates Lorentz invariance. On the other hand, CPT invariance is not sufficient for out-of-cone Lorentz invariance. Theories that violate CPT by having different particle and…
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…
CP has a natural embedding in superstring models as a gauge symmetry involving inversion of the compactified space. Hence the source of CP violation could be geometrical. Such models face the problem of how to suppress contributions to…
We discuss the possibility of relating the size and sign of the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe to CP violation observable at low energies, in a framework where the observed baryon asymmetry is produced by leptogenesis through out…
The conditions to induce appreciable CP-and T-odd effects in neutrino oscillations are discussed. The propagation in matter leads to fake CP-and CPT-odd asymmetries, besides a Bohm-Aharonov type modification of the interference pattern. We…
Microscopic CP violation has profound cosmological consequences. In particular, it is related to the baryon asymmetry of the universe. A successful baryogenesis requires new sources of CP violation in addition to the…
We argue that a cosmic neutrino background that carries non-zero lepton charge develops gravitational instabilities. Fundamentally, these instabilities are related to the mixed gravity-lepton number anomaly. We have explicitly computed the…
Using a left-right symmetric model with Spontaneous CP Violation and the hypothesis of a weakly first order electroweak phase transition we derive a relation between the produced baryon asymmetry and the observed parameter $\varepsilon$,…
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)…
