Spontaneous CP violation in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos
We implement the mechanism of spontaneous CP violation in the 3-3-1 model
with right-handed neutrinos and recognize their sources of CP violation. Our
main result is that the mechanism works already in the minimal version of the
model and new sources of CP violation emerges as an effect of new physics at
energies higher than the electroweak scale.Comment: Major changes in the quark sector, electronic dipole moment of the

Asymmetrical bloch branes and the hierarchy problem
We investigate a two scalar fields split braneworld model which leads to a
possible approach to the hierarchy problem within the thick brane scenario. The
model exhibits a resulting asymmetric warp factor suitable for this purpose.
The solution is obtained by means of the orbit equation approach for a specific
value of one of the parameters. Besides, we analyze the model qualitative
behaviour for arbitrary parameters by inspecting the underlying dynamical
system defined by the equations which give rise to the braneworld model. We
finalize commenting on the metric fluctuation and stability issues.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
Neutrino Mixing and the Minimal 3-3-1 Model
In the minimal 3-3-1 model charged leptons come in a non-diagonal basis.
Moreover the Yukawa interactions of the model lead to a non-hermitian charged
lepton mass matrix. In other words, the minimal 3-3-1 model presents a very
complex lepton mixing. In view of this we check rigorously if the possible
textures of the lepton mass matrices allowed by the minimal 3-3-1 model can
lead or not to the neutrino mixing required by the recent experiments in
neutrino oscillation.Comment: two references add, minor chages, accepted for publication in MPL
Majorana Dark Matter in Minimal Higgs Portal Models after LUX
We consider the Singlet Majorana fermion dark matter model, in which the
standard model particles interact with the dark sector through the mixing of a
singlet scalar and the Higgs boson. In this model both the dark matter and the
singlet scalar carry lepton number, the latter being a bilepton. We suppose the
existence of a symmetry, remnant of some high energy local symmetry
breaking, that stabilizes the Majorana fermion. We analyzed the parameter space
of this model and found that the lepton number symmetry breaking scale, drove
by the singlet scalar, is constrained to be within hundreds to thousands of
GeV, so as to conform with the observed dark matter relic density. Finally, we
address the direct detection and invisible Higgs decay complementarity,
confronting our model with recent LUX and LHC constraints, as well as XENON1T
prospects.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figure
