The constraints on the flavour and CP structure of scalar lepton mass
matrices are systematically collected. The display of the resulting upper
bounds on the lepton -slepton misalignment parameters is designed for an easy
inspection of very large classes of models and the formula are arranged so as
to suggest useful approximations. Interferences among the different
contributions to lepton flavour violating transitions and lepton electric and
magnetic dipole moments of generic character can either tighten or loose the
bounds. A combined analysis of all rare leptonic transitions can disentangle
the different contributions to yield hints on several phenomenological issues.
The possible impact of these results on the study of the slepton misalignment
originated in the seesaw mechanism and grand-unified theories is emphasized
since the planned experiments are getting close to the precision required in
such tests.Comment: 29 pages, 13 figures; v3: corrected misprints in appendix
