Mass generation and gravity
Mario Novello, Vicente Antunes
Despite the success of the Higgs mechanism to account for the generation of the masses of Standard Model (SM) elementary particles, the ultimate nature and origin of "mass" remain…

Gravitational baryogenesis without CPT violation
Vicente Antunes, Ignacio Bediaga, Mario Novello
We show that in theories with nonminimal curvature-matter couplings up to first order in the curvature, baryon number (B) conservation and CP are automatically violated, provided t…

Connecting the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix to quark masses
M. Novello, V. Antunes
We show that the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa interaction matrix may be constructed with the quark masses.
