Neutrino mixing from finite modular groups

TL;DR

This paper explores how finite modular groups like S_3 and A_4 can serve as flavor symmetries in lepton models, incorporating modular functions to achieve realistic neutrino masses and mixing angles.

Contribution

It introduces a framework where finite modular groups and modular functions are used to construct lepton flavor models with realistic neutrino properties.

Findings

Models can produce realistic neutrino masses.

Lepton mixing angles match experimental data.

Finite modular groups effectively constrain flavor structures.

Abstract

We study the lepton flavor models, whose flavor symmetries are finite subgroups of the modular group such as $S_3$ and $A_4$. In our models, couplings are also nontrivial representations of these groups and modular functions of the modulus. We study the possibilities that these models realize realistic values of neutrino masses and lepton mixing angles.
