Abstract
We propose a predictive \(Q_4\) flavored 2HDM model, where the scalar sector is enlarged by the inclusion of several gauge singlet scalars and the fermion sector by the inclusion of right-handed Majorana neutrinos. In our model, the \(Q_4\) family symmetry is supplemented by several auxiliary cyclic symmetries, whose spontaneous breaking produces the observed pattern of SM charged fermion masses and quark mixing angles. The light active neutrino masses are generated from an inverse seesaw mechanism at one loop level thanks to a remnant preserved \(Z_2\) symmetry. Our model successfully reproduces the measured dark matter relic abundance and is consistent with direct detection constraints for masses of the DM candidate around \(\sim\) 6.3 TeV. Furthermore, our model is also consistent with the lepton and baryon asymmetries of the Universe as well as with the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

Notes
In addition to the parameters of the mass and mixing matrices from the quark and charged lepton sector, which are kept fixed in the analysis of the scalar and DM sectors. (The neutrino sector parameters influence the baryon asymmetry observable.)
These expressions are not general in the sense that they are not valid for cases where there are degenerate eigenvalues or when one or more of the matrix entries are zero, these atypical cases should be treated separately. In particular, these equations are not expected to reduce to the correct results in the limit \(\lambda _7 = \lambda _9 = 0\), which is not contemplated since in this case four matrix entries reduce to zero. In the parameter scan we use standard numerical algorithms to diagonalize the mass matrices.
For this part of the numerical scan we neglect the masses of the first and second generation of fermions and neglect off-diagonal entries in the Yukawa matrices. We expect deviations of the matter sector relative to the SM to be of negligible influence in the phenomenology of the scalar sector at present collider searches.
A second case, namely that one of the \(\eta\) fields is the lightest of the DM particles, is of course also possible leading to a scalar DM candidate. In this letter we focus our attention on the fermion DM candidate in part because of a matter of taste and in part because of the demanding computational times required for the numerical analysis which make unfeasible to present both cases in a single piece. We restrict our analysis to the scenario of fermionic dark matter only, because the case of scalar dark matter candidate is a bit generic and our expected results will be similar to those ones discussed in [51,52,53], where the dark matter constraints set the mass of scalar dark matter candidates larger than about few TeVs or in a small window close to the half of the SM Higgs boson mass. Besides that, one can also consider the scenario of multicomponent dark matter candidates; however, such scenario requires careful analysis which are beyond the scope of the present work.
For better comparison with the other curves we extrapolated linearly the data available from this reference from 1 TeV up to 10 TeV.

Appendix A: The product rules for \(Q_{4}\)
The irreducible representations of the \(Q_{4}\) group are four singlets, \(\mathbf {1}_{+}{+}\), \(\mathbf {1}_{+-}\), \(\mathbf {1}_{-+}\) and \(\mathbf {1}_{--}\), and one doublet \(\mathbf {2}\). The tensor products of the \(Q_{4}\) irreducible representation are given by [3]:
where \(s_{1}^{\prime \prime }=s_{1}s_{1}^{\prime }\) and \(s_{2}^{\prime \prime }=s_{2}s_{2}^{\prime }\).
Appendix B: Scalar potential for two \(Q_{4}\) doublets
The scalar potential for two \(Q_{4}\) doublets \(\xi\) and \(\Phi\) (with \(\xi\) real and \(\Phi\) complex) has the form
The above given scalar potential can be rewritten as follows:
Due to Hermiticity, the parameters are reals and the minimum conditions are the following
where we have considered in general
According to our purpose, we need the alignment \(\left\langle \xi \right\rangle =v_{\xi }\left( 1,0\right)\) (\(v_{\xi _{1}}\ne 0\) and \(v_{\xi _{2}}=0\)), then we use the former two expressions in Eq. ((93)) to obtain
As one can notice, in the last to expressions in Eq. (95), there is a symmetry of interchange \(v_{\Phi _{1}}\leftrightarrow v_{\Phi _{2}}\). Along with this, we demand that \(v_{\Phi _{1}}\ne 0\ne v_{\Phi _{2}}\) therefore \(v_{\Phi _{1}}=v_{\Phi _{2}}\equiv v_{\Phi }\) from the last two expressions. Finally, we end up having
This shows that the VEV pattern of the two \(Q_{4}\) doublets \(\xi\) and \(\Phi\) shown in Eq. (1) is consistent with the minimization conditions of the scalar potential.
Appendix C: Stability of the scalar potential for two \(Q_{4}\) doublets
With the aim to determine the stability conditions of the scalar potential for the two \(Q_{4}\) doublets \(\xi\) and \(\Phi\), we proceed to analyze its quartic terms because they will dominate the behavior of the scalar potential in the region of very large values of the field components. To this end, we introduce the following Hermitian bilinear combination of the scalar fields:
and rewrite the quartic terms of the scalar potential for the two \(Q_{4}\) doublets \(\xi\) and \(\Phi\):
in the following form:
Defining
The above given quartic scalar interactions can be rewritten as follows:
Following the procedure used for analyzing the stability described in Refs. [74, 75], we find that our scalar potential of two \(Q_{4}\) doublets will be stable when the following conditions are fulfilled:
