For the dihedral group of order 2m with odd m, let Dk​(r)=diag(ζk,ζ−k) and Dk​(s)=(01​10​), where ζ=e2πi/m and 1≤k≤(m−1)/2. An invariant tensor defining a bilinear form satisfies Dk​(g)TLDk​(g)=L. The rotation forces L11​=L22​=0 and the reflection forces L12​=L21​. Thus the invariant tensor is a multiple of (01​10​), 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.
