abstract = {In the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, CP
violation arises through a very particular interplay between
the three quark generations, as described by the
Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa (CKM) mechanism and the single
Jarlskog invariant $J_4$. Once generalized to the Standard
Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), this peculiar pattern
gets modified by higher-dimensional operators, whose
associated Wilson coefficients are usually split into
CP-even and odd parts. However, CP violation at dimension
four, i.e., at the lowest order in the EFT expansion, blurs
this distinction: any Wilson coefficient can interfere with
$J_4$ and mediate CP violation. In this paper, we study such
interferences at first order in the SMEFT expansion,
$O(1/\Lambda^2)$, and we capture their associated parameter
space via a set of 1551 linear CP-odd flavor invariants.
This construction describes both new, genuinely CP-violating
quantities as well as the interference between $J_4$ and
CP-conserving ones. We call this latter possibility
opportunistic CP violation. Relying on an appropriate
extension of the matrix rank to Taylor expansions, which we
dub Taylor rank, we define a procedure to organize the
invariants in terms of their magnitude, so as to retain only
the relevant ones at a given precision. We explore how this
characterization changes when different assumptions are made
on the flavor structure of the SMEFT coefficients.
Interestingly, some of the CP-odd invariants turn out to be
less suppressed than $J_4$, even when they capture
opportunistic CPV, demonstrating that CP-violation in the
SM, at dimension 4, is accidentally small.},
