Description
The question of CP violating phases in supersymmetry and electric dipole moments (EDMs) is considered within the framework of supergravity grand unification (GUT) models with a light ($\stackrel{<}{\sim}$1 TeV) mass spectrum. In the minimal model, the nearness of the t-quark Landau pole automatically suppresses the t-quark cubic soft breaking phase at the electroweak scale. However, current EDM data require the quadratic soft breaking phase to be small at the electroweak scale unless tan$β$ is small (tan$β\stackrel{<}{\sim}$3), and the EDM data combined with the requirement of electroweak symmetry breaking require this phase to be both large and highly fine tuned at the GUT scale unless tan$β$ is small. Non minimal models are also examined, and generally show the same behavior.
