Discrete Flavor Symmetries and Origin of CP Violation
Abstract content
I will discuss the origin of CP violation in settings with a discrete (flavor) symmetry. In particular, we show that certain discrete symmetries clash with CP in the sense that, in generic settings with such symmetries, one cannot consistently define a proper CP transformation. For such discrete symmetries, CP violation can be purely group theoretical, leading to physical effects such as particle decay asymmetry.
