We consider a new class of two-Higgs-doublet models where Z(2) is enlarged to the symmetry group F(sic)Z(2), i.e., an inner semidirect product of a discrete symmetry group F and Z(2). In such a scenario, the symmetry constrains the Yukawa interactions but goes unnoticed by the scalar sector. In the most minimal scenario, Z(3)(sic)Z(2) = D-3, flavor changing neutral currents mediated by scalars are absent at tree and one-loop level, while at the same time predictions to quark and lepton mixing are obtained, namely a trivial Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and a Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix (upon introduction of three heavy right-handed neutrinos) containing maximal atmospheric mixing. Small extensions allow to fully reproduce mixing parameters, including cobimaximal mixing in the lepton sector (maximal atmospheric mixing and a maximal charge-parity violating phase).", optnote="WOS:000513216400008", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4297), last updated on Fri, 06 Mar 2020 11:31:23 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.101.035013", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.06824", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.101.035013", language="English" }
