Fermion electric dipole moments in R-parity violating supersymmetry

In this talk I discuss some aspects of the study of electric dipole moments (EDMs) of the fermions, in the context of R-parity violating (Rp) Supersymmetry (SUSY). I will start with a brief general discussion of how dipole moments, in general, serve as a probe of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) and an even briefer summary of Rp SUSY. I will follow by discussing a general method of analysis for obtaining the leading fermion mass dependence of the dipole moments and present its application to Rp SUSY case. Then I will summarise the constraints that the analysis of e, n and Hg EDMs provide for the case of trilinear Rp SUSY couplings and make a few comments on the case of bilinear Rp, where the general method of analysis proposed by us does not work
