Abstract
We propose models in which the hierarchical structures of the masses and mixing in both quark and lepton sectors are explained by the S4′ modular flavor symmetry near the fixed point τ∼i∞. The model provides the first explicit example which explains hierarchies of both quarks and leptons from single modular flavor symmetry. The hierarchies are realized by powers of ϵ=e2πiτ/4=O(0.01) and 2Imτ∼5, where τ being the modulus. The small parameter ϵ plays a role of flavon in the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism under the residual Z4T symmetry, and powers of 2Imτ in the Yukawa couplings are controlled by modular weights via the canonical normalization. The doublet quarks are identified to a S4′ triplet to explain the hierarchical structure of the quark mixing angles, while the doublet leptons are composed of three singlets for the large mixing angles in the lepton sector. We show that the S4′ modular symmetry alone can explain the hierarchies in both quark and lepton sectors by O(1) coefficients.
