Scientific paper

To most physicists, the notion of antimatter is foreign to General Relativity. We propose to show, however, that the Kerr-Newman geometry, representing a rotating and charged black hole, exhibits simple charge-reversal and time-reversal transformations strongly evoking antimatter. We therefore propose a surprising but natural definition of antimatter in General Relativity which could have been anticipated from the work of Carter, thirty years ago, and from the work of Thorne et al. on wormholes. This definition of antimatter provides a parameter-free explanation of CP violation in the neutral kaon system, the only known instance of microscopic matter-antimatter asymmetry in Physics. Predictions for the CP violation parameters in the B meson system, for the direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system, and simple tests on antihydrogen which could be realized in the near future at the CERN AD will be presented.
