Abstract: ${\mathcal {C}}{\mathcal {P}}$ violation in the Higgs couplings to fermions is an intriguing, but not yet extensively explored possibility. We use inclusive and differential LHC Higgs boson measurements to fit the ${\mathcal {C}}{\mathcal {P}}$ structure of the Higgs Yukawa couplings. Starting with simple effective models featuring ${\mathcal {C}}{\mathcal {P}}$ violation in a single Higgs–fermion coupling, we probe well-motivated models with up to nine free parameters. We also investigate the complementarity of LHC constraints with the electron electric dipole moment bound, taking into account the possibility of a modified electron Yukawa coupling, and assess to which extent ${\mathcal {C}}{\mathcal {P}}$ violation in the Higgs–fermion couplings can contribute to the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. Even after including the recent analysis of angular correlations in $H\rightarrow \tau ^+\tau ^-$ decays, we find that a complex tau Yukawa coupling alone may be able to account for the observed baryon asymmetry, but with large uncertainties in the baryogenesis calculation. A combination of complex top and bottom quark Yukawa couplings yields a result four times larger than the sum of their separate contributions, but remains insufficient to account for the observed baryon asymmetry.
