Discovering CP-violating effects in the Higgs sector would constitute an indisputable sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. We derive constraints on the CP-violating Higgs-boson couplings to top and bottom quarks as well as to tau…
Lorentz-symmetry violation may be described via the CPT-odd, dimension-3, Carroll-Field-Jackiw term, which couples the electromagnetic fields to a constant 4-vector $k_{\rm AF}$ selecting a preferred direction in spacetime. We solve the…
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the heavy quark potential in the backgrounds with hyperscaling violation. The metrics are covariant under a generalized Lifshitz scaling symmetry with the dynamical Lifshitz parameter $z$ and…
Quantum gravity phenomenology has been historically regarded as a difficult endeavour, due to the apparent scarcity of phenomena involving the required scales of length (Planck length $l_P$) and energy (Planck energy $E_P$). It was…
What do we know about CPT symmetry? We conclude that the direcrt measurement of CPT violation leads to a result that CPT violation force is limited to about 30% of CP violating forces. The best test of CPT symmetry is to see if theoretical…
The methods of effective field theory are used to explore the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the torsion field. Spinor action coupled to electromagnetic field and torsion possesses an additional softly broken gauge symmetry.…
The observed interaction energy of cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei reaches up to a PeV in the center of mass. We compute nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-neutrino cross sections for various generic parton cross sections appearing in string…
Within a perturbative cosmological regime of loop quantum gravity corrections to effective constraints are computed. This takes into account all inhomogeneous degrees of freedom relevant for scalar metric modes around flat space and results…
A new mechanism for T and CPT violation is reviewed, which relies on chiral fermions, gauge interactions and nontrivial spacetime topology. Also discussed are the possible effects on the propagation of electromagnetic waves in vacuo, in…
We argue that CP violation has rather dramatic impact on the "gravity as the weakest force" conjecture. Namely we find that new ultraviolet scale must be $\Lambda \lesssim \theta g^3 M_P$, where $\theta$ is an effective parameter describing…
We review many quantum aspects of torsion theory and discuss the possibility of the space-time torsion to exist and to be detected. The paper starts, in Chapter 2, with an introduction to the classical gravity with torsion, that includes…
Torsion models constitute a well known class of extended quantum gravity models. In this work, one investigates the phenomenological consequences of a torsion field interacting with top quarks at the LHC. A torsion field could appear as a…
A linear CKM relation, $\bar\eta= \tan\Phi_{3/2}(\bar\rho-0.24\pm 0.03)$, involving a $1\sigma$ range for $\Phi_{3/2}$, $20^\circ < \Phi_{3/2} < 115^\circ$, is obtained from $B^0\to K^*\pi$ amplitudes measured recently in Dalitz plot…
New sources of charge-parity (CP) violation beyond those described in the Standard Model (SM) are required to explain the observed matter--antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a…
Considering the observed anisotropy in cosmic microwave background radiation ($\Delta T/T \leq 10^{-4}$) an upper limit on the electric charge asymmetry over a cosmological scale is found which is several orders more stringent than those…
We work out in the forward limit and up to order $e^6$ in perturbation theory the collinear divergences. In this kinematical regime we discover new collinear divergences that we argue can be only cancelled using quantum interference with…
We used a torsion pendulum containing $\approx 10^{23}$ polarized electrons to search new interactions that couple to electron spin. We limit CP-violating interactions between the pendulum's electrons and unpolarized matter in the earth or…
We use recent observations from solar system orbital motions in order to constrain f(T) gravity. In particular, imposing a quadratic f(T) correction to the linear-in-T form, which is a good approximation for every realistic case, we extract…
We consider cosmological consequences of the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry that is anomalous under technicolor interactions, leading to the emergence of a light axion-like particle. Avoiding overclosure of the universe by such…
Positivity bounds - constraints on any low-energy effective field theory imposed by the fundamental axioms of unitarity, causality and locality in the UV - have recently been used to constrain scalar-tensor theories of dark energy. However,…
