abstract
We consider quantum effects in a world with two coexisting symmetry phases, unbroken and spontaneously broken, as a result of a first order phase transition. The discrete symmetries of the problem are discussed in general. We compute the exact two-point Green function for a free fermion, when a thin wall separates the two phases. The Dirac propagator displays both massive and massless poles, and new CP-even phases resulting from the fermion reflection on the wall. We discuss the possible quark-antiquark CP asymmetries produced in the Standard Model(SM) for the academic $T=0$ case. General arguments indicate that an effect first appears at order $\alpha_W$ in the reflection amplitude, as the wall acts as a source of momentum and the on-shell one-loop self-energy cannot be renormalized away. The asymmetries stem from the interference of the SM CP-odd couplings and the CP-even phases in the propagator. We perform a toy computation that indicates the type of GIM cancellations of the problem. The behaviour can be expressed in terms of two unitarity triangles.

An ultralight scalar temporarily lowers a dark fermion mass via muon thermal density, opening efficient B meson dark decays for baryon asymmetry generation that later shuts off to match flavor data.
Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in the alignment limit via heavy-Higgs mixing angle alpha3.

Intrinsic Properties of Large CP Violation in the Complex Two-Higgs-Doublet Model
Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in the alignment limit via heavy-Higgs mixing angle alpha3.
