GOOFy fermions
A bstract A new class of symmetries, named GOOFy symmetries of two Higgs doublet models, was recently discovered, the result of an unorthodox transformation on scalar and gauge fields and spacetime coordinates. It was explicitly shown that it is possible to choose Yukawa matrix textures which respect those symmetries up to two-loops. In this work we will establish the fermion field transformations for the two Higgs doublet models to be considered in the context of the new symmetries established. We identify two phenomenologically viable models with a GOOFy symmetry, including fermionic sectors.
