We consider the quark sector of theories containing three scalar SU(2)_L doublets in the triplet representation of A4 (or of S4) and three generations of quarks in arbitrary A4 (or S4) representations. We show that, for all possible choices of quark field representations and for all possible alignments of the Higgs vacuum expectation values that can constitute global minima of the scalar potential, it is not possible to obtain simultaneously non-vanishing quark masses and a non-vanishing CP-violating phase in the CKM quark mixing matrix. As a result, in this minimal form, models with three scalar fields in the triplet representation of A4 or of S4 cannot be extended to the quark sector in a way consistent with experiment.

  1. The Hilbert Series and the Flavor Invariants of the 3HDM

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The full multigraded Hilbert series of the 3HDM is computed in closed form, and a basis of SU(3)-invariant operators is constructed up to cubic order in the quartic couplings.

  2. FCNC-free multi-Higgs-doublet models from broken family symmetries

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Residual flavor symmetries enforce simultaneously diagonal Yukawa couplings across all Higgs doublets when they fully control fermion mixing, yielding a generalized Yukawa Alignment that is free of tree-level FCNC.
