Leaks of CP violation in the real two-Higgs-doublet model

Abstract We discuss the $$Z_2$$ Z 2 symmetric two-Higgs-doublet model with a real soft-breaking term (real 2HDM). We explain in detail why it is not tenable to assume CP conservation in the scalar sector to keep the dimension two term real, while CP is violated by the dimension four Yukawa couplings...
