Invariant approach to CP in family symmetry models

Invariant approach to CP in family symmetry models
Invariant approach to CP in family symmetry models
We propose the use of basis invariants, valid for any choice of CP transformation, as a powerful approach to studying specific models of CP violation in the presence of discrete family symmetries. We illustrate the virtues of this approach for examples based on $A_4$ and $\Delta(27)$ family symmetries. For $A_4$, we show how to elegantly obtain several known results in the literature. In $\Delta(27)$ we use the invariant approach to identify how explicit (rather than spontaneous) CP violation arises, which is geometrical in nature, i.e. persisting for arbitrary couplings in the Lagrangian.

Abstract

We propose the use of basis invariants, valid for any choice of CP transformation, as a powerful approach to studying specific models of CP violation in the presence of discrete family symmetries. We illustrate the virtues of this approach for examples based on $A_4$ and $\Delta(27)$ family symmetries. For $A_4$, we show how to elegantly obtain several known results in the literature. In $\Delta(27)$ we use the invariant approach to identify how explicit (rather than spontaneous) CP violation arises, which is geometrical in nature, i.e. persisting for arbitrary couplings in the Lagrangian.
