CP4 3HDM is a unique three-Higgs-doublet model equipped with a higher-order CP-symmetry in the scalar and Yukawa sector. Based on a single assumption (the minimal model with a CP-symmetry of order 4 and no accidental symmetry), it leads to a remarkable correlation between its scalar and Yukawa sectors, which echoes in its phenomenology. A recent scan of the parameter space of CP4 3HDM under the assumption of scalar alignment identified a few dozens of points which passed many flavor constraints. In the present work, however, we show that almost all of these points are now ruled out by the recent LHC searches of t→H+b with subsequent hadronic decays of H+. Apart from a few points with charged Higgses heavier than the top quark, only one point survives all the checks, the model with an exotic, non-2HDM-like generation pattern of H+ couplings with quarks. One can expect many more points with exotic H+ couplings to quarks if the scalar alignment assumption is relaxed.

Concentrating on the impact of the very recent top quark discovery, we perform a combined analysis of two strongest constraints on the two-Higgs doublet model, one coming from the recent measurement by CLEO on the inclusive branching ratio of b→sγ decay and the other from the recent LEP data on [Formula: see text] decay. We have included the model predictions for one-loop vertex corrections to [Formula: see text] through εb. We find that the εb constraint excludes most of the less appealing window: tan β≲1 at 95% C.L. for the measured top mass mt=176±8±10 GeV from CDF. Moreover, it excludes tan β≲2 at 95% C.L. for mt≳176 GeV; combined with the b→sγ constraint, only very heavy charged Higgs (≳670 GeV) is allowed by the measured mt from CDF.

The D0 experiment has reported a direct search for a charged Higgs boson produced by [Formula: see text] annihilation and decaying to [Formula: see text] final state, in the 180≤MH+≤300 GeV mass range. The analysis has led to upper limits on the production cross-section in the framework of the two-Higgs doublet model types I, II and III. We compare the predictions of two different scenarios in the framework of the two-Higgs doublet type III to the cross-section limits reported by D0 collaboration, and we obtain constraints on the charged Higgs mass, for the case when the charged Higgs mass is bigger than the top quark mass. Also, searches for the charged Higgs boson with a mass smaller than top quark mass are considered, we discuss the possible limits on the charged Higgs boson mass obtained from measurements of the ratio [Formula: see text] within the two-Higgs doublet model type III.

We argue that the consistent implementation of the multiple point principle (MPP) in the general nonsupersymmetric two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) can lead to a set of approximate global custodial symmetries that ensure CP conservation in the Higgs sector and the absence of flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) in the considered model. In particular, the existence of a large set of degenerate vacua at some high energy scale Λ caused by the MPP can result in approximate U(1) and Z2 symmetries that suppress FCNC and CP-violating interactions in the 2HDM. We explore the renormalization group (RG) flow of the Yukawa and Higgs couplings within the MPP inspired 2HDM with approximate custodial symmetries and show that the solutions to the RG equations are focused near quasifixed points at low energies if the MPP scale Λ is relatively high. We study the Higgs spectrum and couplings near the quasifixed point at moderate values of tan β and compute a theoretical upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass. If Λ ≳ 1010 GeV the lightest CP-even Higgs boson is always lighter than 125 GeV. When the MPP scale is low, the mass of the lightest Higgs particle can reach 180–220 GeV while its coupling to the top quark can be significantly larger than in the SM, resulting in the enhanced production of Higgs bosons at the LHC. Other possible scenarios that appear as a result of the implementation of the MPP in the 2HDM are also discussed.
