The asymmetric Kerr metric as a source of CP violation

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the observed CP violation may originate from the anisotropic gravitational effects of the Kerr metric, especially near massive rotating astrophysical objects, suggesting a gravitational basis for discrete symmetry violations.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis linking CP violation to the scalar frame dragging term in the Kerr metric, connecting gravitational effects with fundamental symmetry violations.

Findings

CP violation linked to Kerr metric's frame dragging effect

Potential anisotropic decay signatures near rotating astrophysical bodies

Implication of larger CP violation effects near compact objects

Abstract

All experimental evidence for violation of discrete spacetime symmetries: Parity and Time reversal and the related Charge conjugation/Parity combination (P, T and CP respectively) has been obtained on earth in a gravitational potential that is P and T anisotropic. It is suggested that the origin of the observed CP violation is the scalar field equal to the frame dragging term $d\phi dt$ in the Kerr metric of a spinning massive body. The galaxy would be the largest such source. Indirect evidence of such an effect would be anisotropic decay products when plotted in a reference frame defined by the fixed stars. As a consequence, CP violation would be very much greater near compact astrophysical objects with large angular momentum.
