We explore a simple but extremely predictive extension of the scotogenic model. We promote the scotogenic symmetry $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to the flavour non-Abelian symmetry $\Sigma(81)$, which can also automatically protect dark matter stability. In addition, $\Sigma(81)$ leads to striking predictions in the lepton sector: only Inverted Ordering is realised, the absolute neutrino mass scale is predicted to be $m_\text{lightest} \approx 7.5 \times 10^{-4}$ eV and the Majorana phases are correlated in such a way that $|m_{ee}| \approx 0.018$ eV. The model also leads to a strong correlation between the solar mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ and $\delta_{CP}$, which may be falsified by the next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments. The setup is minimal in the sense that no additional symmetries or flavons are required.

  1. The Simplest Dirac Scoto-Seesaw Realization

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A Dirac scoto-seesaw framework with chiral U(1)B-L charges (-4,-4,5) generates atmospheric neutrino mass at tree level and solar mass radiatively, stabilizes dark matter with residual Z6, and suppresses Z' dilepton decays.
