Abstract

Recent developments in two-Higgs doublet models identified regions of parameter space which are renormalization-group invariant to all orders of perturbation theory but cannot be described by any of the known symmetries of those models. These were dubbed GOOFy symmetries, as they involve scalar doublets and their complex conjugates transforming independently, and imaginary scaling of spacetime coordinates is needed to ensure invariance of kinetic terms. We build a three-Higgs doublet model with a GOOFy symmetry including extensions to the fermion sector. We prove renormalization group invariance through a direct calculation of the model's beta functions and analyse the corresponding phenomenology. The model is shown to be compatible with current LHC observations, displaying interesting features which may be probed in the near future.

Introduction

The scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and the generation of particle masses. Despite its remarkable phenomenological success, the SM leaves several open questions, including the origin of neutrino masses and the stability of the electroweak scale. Extensions of the scalar sector provide a well-motivated framework for exploring physics beyond the SM. Among the simplest and most extensively studied possibilities are Multi-Higgs Doublet Models (NHDMs), which enlarge the scalar content of the theory by having NN hypercharge +1 SU(2)L\mathrm{SU}(2)_{L} doublets.

The addition of scalar doublets drastically enlarges the parameter space of the theory: the two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) [1, 2] involves 14 independent parameters in its most general form, while the three-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) already contains 54.1 While this proliferation complicates theoretical and phenomenological analyses, the imposition of symmetries is primarily motivated by their physical implications rather than by mere parameter reduction. Moreover, symmetries encode structural principles of the theory, constrain the dynamics, and can enforce desirable phenomenological features. A well-known example is the imposition of a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 symmetry in the 2HDM, which forbids tree-level flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) [3, 4]. The resulting reduction of free parameters is therefore a consequence of symmetry, not its fundamental purpose. For many years, the global symmetries of the SU⁡(2)×U⁡(1)\operatorname{SU}(2) \times\operatorname{U}(1) 2HDM scalar potential were believed to be completely classified. These were grouped into two broad families: Higgs-family symmetries and generalised CP symmetries. The former correspond to unitary transformations in the scalar field space,

Φi′=UijΦj,i,j=1,2,U∈U⁡(2),(1)\Phi'_i = U_{ij}\Phi_j,\qquad i,j=1,2,\qquad U\in\operatorname{U}(2), \tag*{(1)}

while the latter involves generalised CP transformations of the form

Φi′=XijΦj∗,i,j=1,2,X∈U⁡(2).(2)\Phi'_i = X_{ij}\Phi_j^*,\qquad i,j=1,2,\qquad X\in\operatorname{U}(2). \tag*{(2)}

It was shown [5] that there were only six such possible symmetries – three of the first kind and three of the second. Recently, however, Ferreira, Grzadkowski, Ogreid, and Osland [6] identified a previously unnoticed class of symmetries — now referred to as GOOFy symmetries — through an analysis of the renormalization group (RG) evolution of the scalar parameters. They observed that certain relations among the parameters of the scalar potential remain RG invariant to all orders in perturbation theory when both scalar and gauge interactions are taken into account. The origin of these relations was traced to an imaginary rescaling of the Higgs doublet fields. While such a transformation by itself would spoil the invariance of the kinetic terms, this can be compensated by a corresponding imaginary rescaling of the spacetime coordinates, together with a consistent rescaling of the gauge fields, thereby restoring invariance of the full scalar and gauge Lagrangian. An extension of this construction to the Yukawa sector has also been achieved [7]. There has been extensive work on this subject, with different interpretations of the cause of these RG invariant relations and their extension to several versions of the 2HDM and even 3HDM [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18].

In this work, we extend the study of GOOFy symmetries to the three-Higgs Doublet Model, with the intention of obtaining a viable Yukawa sector. In Section 2 we review GOOFy symmetries and discuss their implementation within a 3HDM, including the fermionic sector. We also analyse electroweak symmetry breaking in the model and present its renormalization group equations, demonstrating that the GOOFy parameter relations found are preserved under renormalization. Section 3 discusses the softly broken model we must introduce to have a realistic fermion sector. We further discuss the several theoretical and experimental constraints we impose on the model and present results from a numerical scan of the model, including predictions for Higgs phenomenology which may be measurable at the LHC. We conclude in Section 4.

The model

The three-Higgs doublet model (3HDM) is an extension of the Standard Model in which two additional SU⁡(2)L\operatorname{SU}(2)_L doublets with hypercharge +1+1 are added to the scalar sector. With this extra field content, the tree-level value for the ρ\rho parameter is found to be exactly 1, so compliance with electroweak precision constraints is simplified. The 3HDM is more than simply an unnecessary complication of the scalar sector – it brings with it new and interesting phenomenology which cannot be accounted for within other models, such as the 2HDM. For instance, a 3HDM with a Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 \times\mathbb{Z}_2 symmetry was proposed by Weinberg [19], wherein CP violation occurs in the interactions of the charged scalars. Coexisting charge and neutral breaking minima are possible in the 3HDM [20] but not in the 2HDM [5, 21, 22], so the vacuum structure of the model acquires novel properties. A non-exhaustive list of papers that deal with the 3HDM, including an exploration of its geometric structure involving the bilinear formalism; possible Abelian symmetries; boundedness from below conditions; exploration of the phenomenology of A4A_4, S4S_4 and Δ(27)\Delta(27) symmetries and associated CP properties; and Yukawa sector phenomenology is shown in [23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48]. These works, and many others, considered usual symmetry transformations as the source of symmetries with the 3HDM. Recently, however, a new type of “GOOFy” symmetries were identified in the 2HDM. Let us first review those new symmetries in order to apply them to the 3HDM.

GOOFy symmetries

It is well known that parameter relations resulting from a given symmetry are invariant under renormalization to all orders. However, this statement is not an equivalence, and no demonstration exists that the opposite is also true – that renormalization-group (RG) invariant relations between parameters in a given theory necessarily imply the existence of a symmetry. Such were the findings of Ref. [6] where certain relations for scalar potential parameters were found to be RG invariant to all orders of perturbation theory but those relations cannot be reproduced by any field transformations such as (1) or (2). This raised the question of possible new symmetries having been found, corresponding to different field transformations. The work of [6] dealt with the 2HDM potential, which in its most generic SU⁡(2)L×U⁡(1)Y\operatorname{SU}(2)_{L} \times\operatorname{U}(1)_{Y} invariant and renormalizable form may be written as

V=m112Φ1†Φ1+m222Φ2†Φ2−[m122Φ1†Φ2+h.c.]+12λ1(Φ1†Φ1)2+12λ2(Φ2†Φ2)2+λ3(Φ1†Φ1)(Φ2†Φ2)+λ4(Φ1†Φ2)(Φ2†Φ1)+{12λ5(Φ1†Φ2)2+[λ6(Φ1†Φ1)+λ7(Φ2†Φ2)]Φ1†Φ2+h.c.},(3)\begin{aligned} V ={}& m_{11}^{2}\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{1} + m_{22}^{2}\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2} - \left[m_{12}^{2}\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2} + \mathrm{h.c.}\right] + \frac{1}{2}\lambda_{1}\left(\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{1}\right)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\lambda_{2}\left(\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2}\right)^{2} \\ &+ \lambda_{3}\left(\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{1}\right)\left(\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2}\right) + \lambda_{4}\left(\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2}\right)\left(\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}\Phi_{1}\right) \\ &+ \left\{\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{5}\left(\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2}\right)^{2} + \left[\lambda_{6}\left(\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{1}\right) + \lambda_{7}\left(\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2}\right)\right]\Phi_{1}^{\dagger}\Phi_{2} + \mathrm{h.c.}\right\}, \tag*{(3)} \end{aligned}

with all parameters real with the exception of m122m_{12}^{2} and λ5,6,7\lambda_{5,6,7}. It was found that the parameter relations

m112+m222=0,λ1=λ2,λ6=−λ7(4)m_{11}^{2} + m_{22}^{2} = 0,\qquad\lambda_{1} = \lambda_{2},\qquad\lambda_{6} = -\lambda_{7} \tag*{(4)}

remain invariant under RG evolution to all orders of perturbation theory when considering only the scalar and gauge sectors. A general proof of RG invariance considering the Yukawa sector as well was not found in [6], although two (symmetry-imposed) Yukawa matrix textures were found, by direct calculation of the model’s β\beta-functions, to preserve the relations (4) to two loops.

The relations among quartic couplings in (4) can be obtained by a “standard” 2HDM symmetry, namely the CP2 symmetry wherein invariance of the theory under the field transformations Φ1→Φ2∗\Phi_{1} \to\Phi_{2}^{*}, Φ2→−Φ1∗\Phi_{2} \to-\Phi_{1}^{*} is required. But the impact of that symmetry in the potential’s quadratic coefficients forces m112=m222m_{11}^{2} = m_{22}^{2} and m122=0m_{12}^{2} = 0, which are different from those in (4). Indeed, it can be shown that no HF or GCP symmetry can yield the first of the conditions in (4). It was shown in [6] that the relations (4) could be obtained under the unorthodox field transformation

Φ1→Φ2∗,Φ1†→−Φ2T,Φ2→−Φ1∗,Φ2†→Φ1T.(5)\begin{aligned} \Phi_{1} &\to\Phi_{2}^{*}, & \Phi_{1}^{\dagger} &\to-\Phi_{2}^{T}, \\ \Phi_{2} &\to-\Phi_{1}^{*}, & \Phi_{2}^{\dagger} &\to\Phi_{1}^{T}. \tag*{(5)} \end{aligned}

The transformations on the first column are identical to the CP2 case, but notice that the transformation of Φ1†\Phi_{1}^{\dagger} (Φ2†\Phi_{2}^{\dagger}) is defined as minus the hermitian conjugate of the transformation of Φ1\Phi_{1} (Φ2\Phi_{2}). In particular, these transformations imply ∣Φ1∣2+∣Φ2∣2→−(∣Φ1∣2+∣Φ2∣2)\lvert\Phi_{1}\rvert^{2} + \lvert\Phi_{2}\rvert^{2} \to-(\lvert\Phi_{1}\rvert^{2} + \lvert\Phi_{2}\rvert^{2}), which yields the unusual relation between quadratic parameters in (4). It is also impossible to obtain such a transformation with “normal” HF or GCP field transformations.

To explain the origin of such transformations, Ref. [6] proposed that they arise from an imaginary scaling of the real components of the scalar doublets. Writing the doublets in terms of real scalar fields ϕi\phi_i as

Φ1=12(ϕ1+iϕ2ϕ3+iϕ4),Φ2=12(ϕ5+iϕ6ϕ7+iϕ8),(6)\Phi_1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix}\phi_1 + i\phi_2 \\ \phi_3 + i\phi_4\end{pmatrix}, \qquad\Phi_2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix}\phi_5 + i\phi_6 \\ \phi_7 + i\phi_8\end{pmatrix}, \tag*{(6)}

one may obtain the transformations of eq. (5) by imposing
