Current Trends in Global Supply Chain Management Investment Policy
Abstract- To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the world economy, significant financial resources and global supply chain are needed. Priority issues are related to the use of investment resources. Almost all sectors of the economy have a real need for investment. Domestic investments is not enough for countries to implement effective structural policies and upgrade fixed assets. They are forced to attract foreign investment. The annual requirements for international investment reach several trillion US dollars. However, foreign investors are in no hurry to expand investments in the economy of foreign countries. Moreover, in 2017-2019 there is a decrease in global direct foreign investment flows. This is largely due to a noticeable reduction in US investment in the economies of the European Union and China as a result of the tightening of the American protectionism policy pursued by the D. Trump administration and the US Federal Reserve to strengthen regulation of foreign companies in the US market. A decrease in the level of international investment under the worsening business climate in the world leads to the increased competition between countries for attracting foreign investment
Real CP violation in a simple extension of the standard model
I present a simple three-Higgs-doublet extension of the standard model in
which real CP violation takes place. The strong CP problem is attenuated by
this model.Comment: 8 page
FCNC in left-right symmetric theories and constraints on the right-handed scale
We revise the limits on the FCNC higgses in manifestly left-right symmetric
theories. It is shown that the combination of the Kobayashi-Maskawa
CP-violation with the tree level higgs exchange gives very large
contribution to the CP-violating parameter. It leads to the new
strong constraint on the FCNC higgs mass, M>50- 100 TeV, enhanced by factor of
the order . Being addressed to the supersymmetric left-right
models, FCNC problem requires both right-handed scale and supersymmetric mass
parameters be heavier than 50 TeV for . The most relaxed case
corresponds to where right-handed scale can be of the
order of few TeV.Comment: 11 pages, latex, 3 figure
Light dark forces at flavor factories
SuperB experiment could represent an ideal environment to test a new U (1)
symmetry related to light dark forces candidates. A promising discovery channel
is represented by the resonant production of a boson U, followed by its decay
into lepton pairs. Beyond approximations adopted in the literature, an exact
tree level calculation of the radiative processes and corresponding QED
backgrounds is performed, including also the most important higher-order
corrections. The calculation is implemented in a release of the generator
BabaYaga@NLO useful for data analysis and interpretation. The distinct features
of U boson production are shown and the statistical significance is analysed
Non anomalous U(1)_H gauge model of flavor
A non anomalous horizontal gauge symmetry can be responsible for the
fermion mass hierarchies of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Imposing
the consistency conditions for the absence of gauge anomalies yields the
following results: i) unification of leptons and down-type quarks Yukawa
couplings is allowed at most for two generations. ii) The term is
necessarily somewhat below the supersymmetry breaking scale. iii) The
determinant of the quark mass matrix vanishes, and there is no strong
problem. iv) The superpotential has accidental and symmetries. The
prediction allows for an unambiguous test of the model at low
energy.Comment: 5 pages, RevTex. Title changed, minor modifications. Final version to

The electron electric dipole moment enhancement factors of Rubidium and Caesium atoms
The enhancement factors of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ground
states of two paramagnetic atoms; rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) which are
sensitive to the electron EDM are computed using the relativistic
coupled-cluster theory and our results are compared with the available
calculations and measurements. The possibility of improving the limit for the
electron EDM using the results of our present work is pointed out.Comment: AISAMP7 Conference paper, Accepted in Journal of Physics: Conference

Two Higgs Bi-doublet Left-Right Model With Spontaneous P and CP Violation
A left-right symmetric model with two Higgs bi-doublet is shown to be a
consistent model for both spontaneous P and CP violation. The flavor changing
neutral currents can be suppressed by the mechanism of approximate global U(1)
family symmetry. We calculate the constraints from neural meson mass
difference and demonstrate that a right-handed gauge boson
contribution in box-diagrams with mass well below 1 TeV is allowed due to a
cancellation caused by a light charged Higgs boson with a mass range GeV. The contribution to can be suppressed from
appropriate choice of additional CP phases appearing in the right-handed
Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. The model is also found to be fully
consistent with mass difference , and the mixing-induced CP
violation quantity , which is usually difficult for the
model with only one Higgs bi-doublet. The new physics beyond the standard model
can be directly searched at the colliders LHC and ILC.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figures, typos corrected, 1 figure added, published

Hadronic EDMs, the Weinberg Operator, and Light Gluinos
We re-examine questions concerning the contribution of the three-gluon
Weinberg operator to the electric dipole moment of the neutron, and provide
several QCD sum rule-based arguments that the result is smaller than - but
nevertheless consistent with - estimates which invoke naive dimensional
analysis. We also point out a regime of the MSSM parameter space with light
gluinos for which this operator provides the dominant contribution to the
neutron electric dipole moment due to enhancement via the dimension five color
electric dipole moment of the gluino.Comment: 6 pages, RevTeX, 3 figures; v2: references added; v3: typos

R-parity preserving super-WIMP decays
We point out that when the decay of one electroweak scale super-WIMP state to
another occurs at second order in a super-weak coupling constant, this can
naturally lead to decay lifetimes that are much larger than the age of the
Universe, and create observable consequences for the indirect detection of dark
matter. We demonstrate this in a supersymmetric model with Dirac neutrinos,
where the right-handed scalar neutrinos are the lightest and next-to-lightest
supersymmetric partners. We show that this model produces a super-WIMP decay
rate scaling as m_nu^4/(weak scale)^3, and may significantly enhance the
fraction of energetic electrons and positrons over anti-protons in the decay
products. Such a signature is consistent with the observations recently
reported by the PAMELA experiment.Comment: 14 pages, v3 JHEP versio
