Spontaneous CP Violation

In this talk I begin with some general discussion of the history of CP violation, then move on to aspects of the aspon model including the production of new particles at LHC, implications for B decay, generalized Cabibbo mixing and a reevaluation of kaon CP violation. Finally there is a summary.Comment: 5 pages Latex. Talk at Tropical Conference on Particles Physics and Cosmology. San Juan, Puerto Rico. April 1-7, 199

Connecting Link Between Leptogenesis and Oscillations

It is shown how, in a class of models, the sign of the baryon number of the universe can be related to CP violation in neutrino oscillation experiments.Comment: 5 pages LaTeX. Talk at the Third Tropical Workshop on Particles and Cosmology. San Juan, Puerto Rico. August 200

Remarks on the Cosmological Constant

The acceleration of the surface of last scatter (SLS) must somehow reflect the energy content within it. A test particle at the SLS is assumed to experience a linear combination of two forces: one Newtonian, the other pseudo-Newtonian describable by a cosmological constant ${\Lambda}$ in general relativity. In the ${\Lambda}$ description, which is surely too unimaginative, the size of ${\Lambda}$ reflects only the comparable magnitudes of the Newtonian and pseudo-Newtonian forces; any claim of fine tuning due to quantum mechanics is probably illusory.Comment: 6 pages, no figures; improved versio

AdS/CFT Correspondence and Unification at About 4 TeV

I will give a brief summary of an approach to string phenomenology which is inspired by AdS/CFT correspondence and which has been pursued for the last five years. Finite-N non-SUSY theories as discussed here are not obtainable from AdS/CFT although a speculation, currently under study, is that key UV properties of infinite-N theories which may be so obtained can survive, at least in some(one?) cases for the finite-N case. Future work will study the (non-)occurrence of quadratic divergences in the resultant finite-N gauge theories.Comment: 9 pages.
