Emergent Neutrino Texture Geometry from Dark Matter and Lepton Flavor Violation in the Scotogenic Model

We investigate the emergence of approximate neutrino texture structures in the minimal scotogenic model through large-scale Casas--Ibarra parameter scans subject to lepton flavor violation and dark matter constraints. We demonstrate that approximate suppressions can dynamically emerge from phenomenological consistency conditions. The interplay between relic density requirements, radiative neutrino mass generation, and lepton flavor violating observables induces a nontrivial flavor geometry in parameter space. Particular suppressions in the $(eμ)$ and $(eτ)$ sectors arise naturally, while diagonal entries strongly resist cancellation. We further compare normal and inverted mass hierarchies, analyze reduced versus full Casas--Ibarra geometries, and identify approximate scaling relations linking dark matter and flavor observables. Our results suggest that emergent flavor structures may represent dynamical consequences of radiative neutrino mass generation rather than externally imposed flavor symmetries.

One-Zero Neutrino Textures and Resonant Type-II Leptogenesis: Flavor-Resolved Thermal Evolution and Baryon Asymmetry

We investigate the viability of one-zero neutrino mass textures within the framework of resonant Type-II leptogenesis. Considering a two-triplet scalar realization of the Type-II seesaw mechanism, we analyze the compatibility between neutrino texture structures, CP asymmetry generation, and the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We perform extensive numerical scans over the neutrino parameter space and classify the phenomenologically viable one-zero textures under both hierarchical and resonant leptogenesis scenarios. We show that several one-zero textures remain compatible with neutrino oscillation data while simultaneously generating sizable CP asymmetries through resonant enhancement. We further investigate the thermal evolution of the generated asymmetry using Boltzmann equations and demonstrate the freeze-out behavior of the baryon asymmetry. Extending the analysis to a flavor-resolved framework, we study the separate evolution of electron, muon, and tau asymmetries and show that flavor-dependent washout effects play a crucial role in determining the final baryon asymmetry. Our analysis establishes a direct connection between neutrino flavor textures, resonant thermal leptogenesis, and flavor-dependent baryogenesis dynamics.

When Does Leptogenesis Survive Lepton Flavor Violation Constraints? High- and Low-Scale Realizations in the Scotogenic Model

We investigate the interplay between lepton flavor violation (LFV) and leptogenesis in the minimal scotogenic model, comparing high-scale hierarchical leptogenesis and low-scale resonant leptogenesis within a unified Casas--Ibarra framework. Since the same Yukawa couplings simultaneously govern radiative neutrino mass generation, charged LFV processes, and the CP asymmetry required for baryogenesis, strong phenomenological correlations arise. We show that high-scale leptogenesis remains naturally viable due to the effective decoupling between LFV and baryogenesis, while low-scale resonant leptogenesis is strongly constrained by the MEG bound on $μ\rightarrow eγ$. Nevertheless, we identify a narrow but nonvanishing resonant window where successful baryogenesis, controlled washout, and LFV safety coexist simultaneously. In particular, we obtain fully allowed benchmark points characterized by quasi-degenerate heavy fermions, resonantly enhanced CP asymmetry, and suppressed flavor violation through Casas--Ibarra phase alignment.

Resonant Leptogenesis in a Two-Triplet Type-II Seesaw: A Dynamical Origin of Suppressed Lepton Flavor Violation

We investigate resonant leptogenesis in a two-triplet Type-II seesaw framework and demonstrate a coherent and predictive connection between neutrino mass generation, baryogenesis, and charge lepton flavor violation (LFV). In the presence of quasi-degenerate scalar triplets, self-energy effects induce a resonant enhancement of the CP asymmetry, enabling successful baryogenesis at the TeV scale. We construct Yukawa couplings consistent with neutrino oscillation data and perform a comprehensive numerical analysis by solving the Boltzmann equations across a wide parameter space. We find that viable solutions arise only within a restricted region characterized by near-resonant mass splittings and moderate-to-strong washout. In this regime, successful leptogenesis is achieved through resonant enhancement, which compensates for suppressed Yukawa couplings. A key prediction of the framework is that the allowed parameter space dynamically favors small Yukawa couplings, leading to strongly suppressed LFV rates. The near-absence of observable LFV signals therefore emerges as a direct consequence of the dynamics responsible for baryogenesis. Our results highlight a distinctive feature of the two-triplet Type-II scenario: the simultaneous realization of resonant enhancement and LFV suppression within a unified and testable framework.

A CP-violating phase in a two Higgs triplet scenario : some phenomenological implications

We consider a scenario where, along with the usual Higgs doublet, two scalar triplets are present. The extension of the triplet sector is required for the Type~II mechanism for the generation of neutrino masses, if this mechanism has to generate a neutrino mass matrix with two-zero texture. One CP-violating phase has been retained in the scalar potential of the model, and all parameters have been chosen consistently with the observed neutrino mass and mixing patterns. We find that a large phase ($\gtrsim 60^{\circ}$) splits the two doubly-charged scalar mass eigenstates wider apart, so that the decay $H_1^{++} \rightarrow H_2^{++} h$ is dominant (with h being the $125$ GeV scalar). We identify a set of benchmark points where this decay dominates. This is complementary to the situation, reported in our earlier work, where the heavier doubly-charged scalar decays as $H_1^{++} \rightarrow H_2^+ W^+$. We point out the rather spectacular signal, ensuing from $H_1^{++} \rightarrow H_2^{++} h$, in the form of Higgs plus same-sign dilepton peak, which can be observed at the Large Hadron Collider.

Dark matter candidate in an extended type III seesaw scenario

The type III seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation usually makes use of at least two $Y = 0$, $SU(2)_L$ lepton triplets. We augment such a model with a third triplet and a sterile neutrino, both of which are odd under a conserved $\Z_2$ symmetry. With all new physics confined to the $\Z_2$-odd sector, whose low energy manifestation is in some higher-dimensional operators, a fermionic dark matter candidate is found to emerge. We identify the region of the parameter space of the scenario, which is consistent with all constraints from relic density and direct searches, and allows a wide range of masses for the dark matter candidate.

Doubly charged scalar decays in a type II seesaw scenario with two Higgs triplets

The type II seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation usually makes use of one complex scalar triplet. The collider signature of the doubly-charged scalar, the most striking feature of this scenario,consists mostly in decays into same-sign dileptons or same-sign $W$ boson pairs. However, certain scenarios of neutrino mass generation, such as those imposing texture zeros by a symmetry mechanism, require at least two triplets in order to be consistent with type-II the seesaw mechanism. We develop a model with two such complex triplets and show that, in such a case, mixing between the triplets can cause the heavier doubly-charged scalar mass eigenstate to decay into a singly-charged scalar and a $W$ boson of the same sign. Considering a large number of benchmark points with different orders of magnitude of the $ΔL =2$ Yukawa couplings, chosen in agreement with the observed neutrino mass and mixing pattern, we demonstrate that $H^{++}_1 \rightarrow H^+_2 W^+$ can have more than 99% branching fraction in the cases where the vacuum expectation values of the triplets are small. The implications of this for the LHC are pointed out.
