abstract
The strong charge-parity (CP) problem has been a long-standing problem in particle physics since 1976, illustrating the small CP-violation phase in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The axion, based on the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, is the most popular solution to the problem. In this paper, we propose an alternative solution based on the three-zero texture of quark mass matrices without additional heavy quark states, which has been shown to fit data well. We show that the required three-zero texture is naturally constructed in a six-dimensional spacetime with a $\mathbf{T}^2/\mathbb{Z}_3$ orbifold compactification.

Non-Invertible Selection Rules on Heterotic Non-Abelian Orbifolds
Non-Abelian orbifolds in heterotic string theory produce non-invertible coupling selection rules, since twisted sectors are labeled by conjugacy classes whose products contain multiple classes and yield characteristic...

Solving the strong CP problem in string-inspired theories with modular invariance
Modular invariance can suppress the QCD theta angle to zero in string-inspired supersymmetric models with positive modular weights and non-trivial gauge kinetic functions, while the CKM phase stays large.
