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

TL;DR

This paper explores how neutrino texture structures naturally emerge in the scotogenic model due to dark matter and lepton flavor violation constraints, revealing a complex flavor geometry driven by phenomenological conditions.

Contribution

It demonstrates that approximate neutrino textures can dynamically arise from phenomenological constraints in the minimal scotogenic model, without imposing external flavor symmetries.

Findings

Approximate suppressions in the (eμ) and (eτ) sectors emerge naturally.

Diagonal entries resist cancellation, indicating specific texture patterns.

Scaling relations link dark matter properties with flavor observables.

Abstract

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 $(e\mu)$ and $(e\tau)$ 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.
