Abstract A search is reported for heavy resonances and quantum black holes decaying into eμ, eτ, and μτ final states in proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC during 2016-2018 at s= 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1. The eμ, eτ, and μτ invariant mass spectra are reconstructed, and no evidence is found for physics beyond the standard model. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for lepton flavor violating signals. Three benchmark signals are studied: resonant τ sneutrino production in R parity violating supersymmetric models, heavy Z' gauge bosons with lepton flavor violating decays, and nonresonant quantum black hole production in models with extra spatial dimensions. Resonant τ sneutrinos are excluded for masses up to 4.2 TeV in the eμ channel, 3.7 TeV in the eτ channel, and 3.6 TeV in the μτ channel. A Z' boson with lepton flavor violating couplings is excluded up to a mass of 5.0 TeV in the eμ channel, up to 4.3 TeV in the eτ channel, and up to 4.1 TeV in the μτ channel. Quantum black holes in the benchmark model are excluded up to the threshold mass of 5.6 TeV in the eμ channel, 5.2 TeV in the eτ channel, and 5.0 TeV in the μτ channel. In addition, model-independent limits are extracted to allow comparisons with other models for the same final states and similar event selection requirements. The results of these searches provide the most stringent limits available from collider experiments for heavy particles that undergo lepton flavor violating decays.
