Softly Broken A₄ Symmetry for Nearly Degenerate Neutrino Masses
read the original abstract
The leptonic Higgs doublet model of neutrino masses is implemented with an A_4 discrete symmetry (the even permutation of 4 objects or equivalently the symmetry of the tetrahedron) which has 4 irreducible representations: 1, 1', 1'', and 3. The resulting spontaneous and soft breaking of A_4 provides a realistic model of charged-lepton masses as well as a nearly degenerate neutrino mass matrix. Phenomenological consequences at and below the TeV scale are discussed.

Why Quarks and Leptons Demand Different Symmetries: A Systematic $Z_3$ Froggatt-Nielsen Analysis
A Z3 Froggatt-Nielsen model with one flavon reproduces quark and charged lepton hierarchies but yields neutrino mass-squared ratios too small by two orders of magnitude and random PMNS angles.

Light states in real 3HDMs with spontaneous CP violation and softly broken symmetries
In real 3HDMs with spontaneous CP violation and discrete symmetry on quartics, perturbativity bounds keep new scalars near the electroweak scale despite large quadratic terms.
