| TITLE | Non-Hermiticity: a new paradigm for model building in particle physics |
| ABSTRACT | Non-Hermitian quantum theories have been applied in many other areas of physics. In this talk, I will review recent developments in the formulation of non-Hermitian quantum field theories, highlighting features that are unique compared to Hermitian theories [1]. I will describe their crucial discrete symmetries and how continuous symmetry properties are borne out, including Noether's theorem [2], the Goldstone theorem [3] and the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism [4,5]. As examples, I will describe non-Hermitian deformations of (scalar) QED [4], the Higgs-Yukawa theory [6] and flavour oscillations [7], illustrating the potential implications of non-Hermitian model building for the neutrino sector [6]. I will also discuss a supersymmetric non-Hermitian model [8]. Together, these results pave the way for a systematic programme for building non-Hermitian extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. [1] M. N. Chernodub and P.
