Abstract

The idea of modular invariance provides a novel explanation of flavour mixing. Within the context of finite modular symmetries ΓN and for a given element γ ∈ ΓN, we present an algorithm for finding stabilisers (specific values for moduli fields τγ which remain unchanged under the action associated to γ). We then employ this algorithm to find all stabilisers for each element of finite modular groups for N = 2 to 5, namely, Γ2 ≃ S3, Γ3 ≃ A4, Γ4 ≃ S4 and Γ5 ≃ A5. These stabilisers then leave preserved a specific cyclic subgroup of ΓN. This is of interest to build models of fermionic mixing where each fermionic sector preserves a separate residual symmetry.

Summary

Modular symmetry

The modular group Γ is made of elements acting on the complex modulus τ (Im(τ ) > 0). The modular group Γ is isomorphic to the projective spacial linear group PSL(2, Z) = SL(2, Z)/Z2. It has two generators, Sτ and Tτ , satisfying Sτ2 = (Sτ Tτ )3 = e. D = 1 (mod N ) and b, c = 0 (mod N ) with N = 2, 3, 4, 5, · · · , we obtain a subset of Γ which is an infinite group and labelled as Γ(N ), Γ(N ) =. The quotient group Γ/Γ(N ) is labelled as ΓN It is finite and called finite modular group. The finite modular group ΓN for N ≤ 5 can be obtained by imposing conditions.
