Strong and Weak CP Violation in Technicolor
Abstract
I discuss vacuum alignment and CP violation in technicolor theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking. I review the surprising appearance of rational phase solutions in the technifermion sector and propose a new solution of the strong CP problem of quarks. I then discuss the sources of weak CP violation, in both the CKM matrix and the suppressed extended technicolor and topcolor--assisted technicolor interactions. It is easy to reproduce the observed value of the neutral kaon CP-violating parameter epsilon from these interactions.
