Abstract

We study the possibility of spontaneous CP violation (SCPV) at the tree level in models with an extended Higgs sector. We show that the minimum equations for the complex phases of the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) have always a geometrical interpretation in terms of triangles. To illustrate our method we analyze the minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) model with R-parity violating couplings and sneutrino VEVs, where there is no SCPV. Then we study SUSY models with extra Higgs doublets and/or gauge singlets, and find that the simplest scenario with SCPV must include at least two singlet fields.
