Nature of parity violation

Elucidate the fundamental origin and structure of parity violation in weak interactions.

Background

The work studies a left-right symmetric extension of the SM, based on SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B−L, that restores parity symmetry at high energies and breaks it spontaneously at lower energies. This framework addresses the observed parity violation in low-energy weak interactions by proposing a restoration at higher scales.

While the paper focuses on one-loop contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in this model, it explicitly identifies the broader question of understanding the nature of parity violation as an open issue.

Nonetheless, several open questions remain, including the origin of neutrino masses, the nature of parity violation, and the existence of lepton flavor violation (LFV).
