Is CP a Gauge Symmetry?
read the original abstract
We suggest here that CP is a discrete {\it gauge} symmetry, and is therefore not violated by quantum gravity. We show that four dimensional CP can arise as a discrete gauge symmetry in theories with dimensional compactification, if the original number of Minkowski dimensions equals $8k+1$, $8k+2$ or $8k+3$, and if there are certain restrictions on the gauge group; these conditions are met by superstrings. CP may then be broken spontaneously below $10^9$ GeV, explaining the observed CP violation in the kaon system without inducing a large EDMN. We discuss the phenomenology of such models, as well as the peculiar nature of cosmic ``CP strings'' which could be produced at the compactification scale. Such strings have the curious property that a particle carried around the string is turned into its CP conjugate. A single CP string renders four dimensional spacetime nonorientable.

Yukawa hierarchies are generated from powers of fully anarchic spurions in higher SU(2) and SU(3) flavor representations via progressive rank lifting through composite outer products, with explicit models and predicti...

Quark hierarchies and CP violation from the Siegel modular group
A benchmark model using genus-2 modular invariance generates quark mass hierarchies and CP violation via moduli VEVs near invariant points, with mass ratios vanishing in the symmetric limit and mixing angles reproduced.

The absence of global anomalies of CP symmetry
Gauged CP symmetry in four dimensions introduces no new global anomalies for connected, simply-connected gauge groups; the standard model matter content is anomaly-free under a gauged CP.

Universal Seesaw Leptogenesis
Leptogenesis can proceed from single-generation gauge-singlet mediator decays in a Universal Seesaw model if parity is broken in the neutrino sector; the lightest right-handed neutrino is a sub-eV dark-radiation relic.
