Invariant bilinear forms of odd dihedral doublets

ID: invariant-bilinear-forms-of-odd-dihedral-doublets

For the dihedral group of order with odd , let and , where and . An invariant tensor defining a bilinear form satisfies . The rotation forces and the reflection forces . Thus the invariant tensor is a multiple of , and a singlet Yukawa interaction gives two equal physical masses by singular value decomposition. Distinct inequivalent doublets admit no such bilinear form, by Schur lemma and their self-duality.
