If the zeta function regularization is used and a complex mass term considered for fermions, the phase does not appear in the fermion determinant. This is not a drawback of the regularization, which can recognize the phase through source…

It is shown that in the scheme with a rotating fermion mass matrix (i.e. one with a scale-dependent orientation in generation space) suggested earlier for explaining fermion mixing and mass hierarchy, the theta-angle term in the QCD action…

We present a solution to the strong CP problem based on the identification of the theta angle with twice the CP violating phase present in the CKM quark matrix. This solution washes out all the unwanted issues stemming form the strong CP…

It is pointed out that any CP violation which may be found in lattice QCD with a chiral phase in the fermion mass term cannot be relevant for the continuum theory. CP is classically conserved in the corresponding continuum theory and is…

The role of a chiral U(1) phase in the quark mass in QCD is analysed from first principles. In operator formulation, there is a parity symmetry and the phase can be removed by a change in the representation of the Dirac gamma matrices.…

Axion fields were originally introduced to control CP violation due to the theta term in QCD. Pauli-Villars regularization, or the use of a parity symmetric fermion measure, however, preserves CP in the fermion sector. A CP violation…

Among the parameters of QCD is one that results in CP violation when non-vanishing. This is closely related to possible quark mass terms. It is conventionally interpreted in terms of gauge field topology or alternatively in terms of phases…

We find a solution to the Strong CP problem that may be testable at the LHC and future colliders. In this solution CP is broken by parity conserving terms, while parity breaking VEVs conserve CP. The quark mass matrix is Hermitian at the…

Three symmetry constraints on the CP violations in QCD are discussed in this paper. In order to generate CP violating observables from QCD, these constraints require: (1) spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, (2) explicit chiral symmetry…

Detailed analysis shows that the phase of a complex mass term of a quark does not violate CP, while the QCD vacuum angle can naturally be set equal to zero. There is no strong CP problem and no need for axions or similar speculative…

A simple breaking of the subnuclear democracy among the quarks leads to a mixing between the second and the third family, in agreement with observation. Introducing the mixing between the first and the second family, one finds an…

Motivated by recent claims questioning the existence of strong CP violation, we present a pedagogical review of CP violation in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Using fundamental properties of the QCD partition function, we analyze the…

The maximal CP violation hypothesis depends on the phase convention of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. A phase convention which leads to successful prediction under the maximal CP violation hypothesis is searched, and thereby,…

This is a pedagogical review of some selected topics of CP and T violation in the decays of K mesons. Diagonalization of the quark mass matrix and the emergence of the complex phase in both the standard and the left--right symmetric models…

We review and clarify some cases of geometrical CP violation, the framework of spontaneous CP violation through complex phases with values that are independent of parameters of the potential. We present a flavour model based on Delta(27)…

In this talk I review the `puzzles' associated with the fermion mass matrices and describe some recent attempts to resolve them, at least partially. Models which attempt to explain the observed mass hierarchy as arising from radiative…

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…

I explore the rich phase diagram of two-flavor QCD as a function of the quark masses. The theory involves three parameters, including one that is CP violating. As the masses vary, regions of both first and second order transitions are…

I discuss several aspects of CP non-invariance in the strongly interacting theory of quarks and gluons. I use a simple effective Lagrangian technique to map out the region of quark masses where CP symmetry is spontaneously broken. I then…

It is shown that the quark mass aligns QCD $\theta$ vacuum in such a way that the strong CP is conserved, resolving the strong CP problem.
