Zee models with a non-invertible $Z_M$ symmetry

Abstract

We investigate Zee models by incorporating a non-invertible $Z_M$ symmetry. The models are systematically classified based on their symmetry assignments, which dictate structures for the Yukawa couplings and the neutrino mass matrix. By evaluating the consistency of these mass structures with current experimental data, we identify the viable model candidates. Focusing on a representative benchmark model based on the non-invertible $Z_7$ symmetry, we perform a detailed numerical analysis. Our results yield characteristic predictions for neutrino observables and charged lepton flavor violating processes within the allowed parameter space.
