CP violation and gravity as the weakest force
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
, where is an effective parameter
describing CP violation and is the gauge coupling constant. The bound
implies that CP-conserving limit is discontinuous, and possibly indicates that
the class of effective theories with strict CP conservation is inconsistent
with a fundamental theory incorporating quantum gravity. At the same time, the
mass hierarchy problem can be explained due to the smallness of the CP
violation, or so.Comment: 4 page
