A combination of measurements of the CP properties of Higgs boson interactions with electroweak gauge bosons is presented, using 140 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. Results from vector boson fusion H→ττ/WW*/γγ, inclusive H→ZZ*, and WH,H→bb[over ¯] channels are combined. No evidence of CP violation is observed, and constrains on the CP-violating operators in the Standard Model effective field theory framework (SMEFT) are set in the Warsaw basis. The results from the combination improve by over 40% on previous individual limits on cHW[over ˜] and, for the first time, simultaneous constraints on three coefficients cHW[over ˜], cHB[over ˜], and cHW[over ˜]B are set. These limits are the most stringent constraints to date on the relevant Wilson coefficients in the SMEFT framework with minimum model dependence.
