Leptonic CP Conservation and the Quark CP Phase from Octonionic Flavor Structure

Abstract

One generation of standard-model fermions can be realized on the complexified octonions through the Clifford algebra $\mathcal{C}l(6)$; the octonionic unification programme extends this to three generations, with generation transport implemented by $G_2$ automorphisms or by rotors built from the ladder operators. We prove a localization theorem for the CP-violating phases of this structure, using only the $\mathcal{C}l(6)$ construction and the stated three-generation representatives, independently of the wider programme. For quarks, the first-to-second generation step is the occupation flip of one ladder mode, with the up and down species coupling to conjugate ladder directions; a conjugation theorem forces $A_d=A_u^*$ for every real transport, and the most general rung-generated rotor yields the exact one-parameter law $\phi_{12}=-2\chi$: the $(1,2)$ transport phase is twice one Yukawa orientation angle. The programme's geometric rotor sits exactly at the quadrature-balanced point $|\phi_{12}|=\pi/2$; the companion analysis reproduces the Cabibbo \emph{magnitude} $|V_{us}|$ with a single real tilt, leaving the rung near quadrature, but it does not extract a CKM CP phase, so the quark Dirac phase is fixed only once the underlying Yukawa orientation is computed. For leptons we prove a reality theorem: every charged-lepton and every neutrino transport amplitude is exactly real for every $G_2$ automorphism and every rotor that does not mix the identity line $\mathbb C\cdot1$ with the lepton--flavor plane $\mathrm{span}(e_7,e_5,e_2)$ a class that contains the entire quark-rung family--and identity--flavor mixing across that plane is the unique possible source of a leptonic phase.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
