Electric dipole moments of charged leptons and lepton flavor violating interactions in the general two Higgs doublet model

Abstract

We calculate the electric dipole moment of electron using the experimental result of muon electric dipole moment and upper limit of the BR(\mu --> e\gamma) in the framework of the general two Higgs doublet model. Our prediction is 10^{-32} e-cm, which lies in the experimental current limits. Further, we obtain constraints for the Yukawa couplings \bar{\xi}^{D}_{N,\tau e} and \bar{\xi}^{D}_{N,\tau\mu}. Finally we present an expression which connects the BR(\tau\to \mu\gamma) and the electric dipole moment of \tau-lepton and study the relation between these physical quantities.
