Functional renormalization group study of a four-fermion model with CP violation: implications to spontaneous CP violation models

We work on the functional renormalization group analysis on a four-fermion model with the CP and P violation in light of nonperturbative exploration of the infrared dynamics of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) arising from the spontaneous CP violation models in a view of the Wilsonian renormalization group. The fixed point structure reveals that in the large-$N_c$ limit, the CP $\bar{\theta}$ parameter is induced and approaches $\pi \cdot (N_f/2)$ (with the number of flavors $N_f$) toward the chiral broken phase due to the criticality and the large anomalous dimensions of the $U(1)$ axial violating four-fermion couplings. This trend seems to be intact even going beyond the large-$N_c$ leading, as long as the infrared dynamics of QCD is governed by the scalar condensate of the quark bilinear as desired. This gives an impact on modeling of the spontaneous CP violation scenarios: the perturbatively irrelevant four-fermion interactions nonperturbatively get relevant in the chiral broken phase, implying that the neutron electric dipole moment becomes too big, unless cancellations due to extra CP and P violating contributions outside of QCD are present at a certain intermediate infrared scale.
