Modular symmetry anomaly and non-perturbative neutrino mass terms in magnetized orbifold models

We study the modular symmetry anomaly in magnetized orbifold models. The non-perturbative effects such as D-brane instanton effects can break tree-level symmetry. We study which part of the modular symmetry is broken explicitly by Majorana mass terms with three generations of neutrinos. The modular weight of neutrino mass terms does not match with other coupling terms in tree-level Lagrangian. In addition, the $Z_N$ symmetry of the modular flavor symmetry is broken and a certain normal subgroup of the modular flavor symmetry remains in neutrino mass terms.

Yukawa textures in modular symmetric vacuum of magnetized orbifold models

We study quark mass matrices derived from magnetized $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold models. Yukawa matrices at three modular fixed points, $τ=i, e^{2πi/3}$ and $i\infty$ are invariant under $S$, $ST$ and $T$-transformations. We study these invariances on $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ twisted orbifold. We find that Yukawa matrices have a kind of texture structures although ones at $τ=i\infty$ are not realistic. We classify Yukawa textures at $τ=i$ and $e^{2πi/3}$. Moreover we investigate the conditions such that quark mass matrix constructed by Yukawa textures becomes approximately rank one matrix, which is favorable to lead to hierarchical masses between the third generation and the others. It is found that realistic quark mass matrices can be obtained around the $S$-invariant vacuum and $ST$-invariant vacuum. As an illustrating example, we show the realization of the quark mass ratios and mixing based on Fritzch and Fritzch-Xing mass matrices.

Modular flavor symmetries of three-generation modes on magnetized toroidal orbifolds

We study the modular symmetry on magnetized toroidal orbifolds with Scherk-Schwarz phases. In particular, we investigate finite modular flavor groups for three-generation modes on magnetized orbifolds. The three-generation modes can be the three-dimensional irreducible representations of covering groups and central extended groups of $Γ_N$ for $N=3,4,5,7,8,16$, that is, covering groups of $Δ(6(N/2)^2)$ for $N=$ even and central extensions of $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z}_{N})$ for $N=$odd with Scherk-Schwarz phases. We also study anomaly behaviors.

Majorana neutrino masses by D-brane instanton effects in magnetized orbifold models

We study Majorana neutrino masses induced by D-brane instanton effects in magnetized orbifold models. We classify possible cases, where neutrino masses can be induced. Three and four generations are favored in order to generate neutrino masses by D-brane instantons. Explicit mass matrices have specific features. Their diagonalizing matrices correspond to the bimaximal mixing matrix in the case with even magnetic fluxes, independently of the modulus value $τ$. On the other hand, for odd magnetic fluxes, diagonalizing matrices correspond nearly to the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix near $τ=i$, while they become the bimaximal mixing matrix for larger ${\rm Im}τ$. For even fluxes, neutrino masses are modular forms of the weight 1 on $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$, and they have symmetries such as $S_4'$ and ${Δ'}(96)\times \mathbb{Z}_3$.

Sharper estimates of Ohsawa--Takegoshi $L^2$-extension theorem in higher dimensional case

Hosono obtained sharper estimates of the Ohsawa--Takegoshi $L^2$-extention theorem by allowing the constant depending on the weight function for a domain in $\mathbb{C}$. In this article, we show the higher dimensional case of sharper estimates of the Ohsawa--Takegoshi $L^2$-extention theorem. To prove the higher dimensional case of them, we establish an analogue of Berndtsson--Lempert type $L^2$-extension theorem by using the pluricomplex Green functions with poles along subvarieties. As a special case, we consider the sharper estimates in terms of the Azukawa pseudometric and show that the higher dimensional case of sharper estimate provides the $L^2$-minimum extension for radial case.

Classification of three generation models by orbifolding magnetized $T^2 \times T^2$

We study orbifolding by the $\mathbb{Z}_2^{\rm (per)}$ permutaion of $T^2_1 \times T^2_2$ with magnetic fluxes and its twisted orbifolds. We classify the possible three generation models which lead to non-vanishing Yukawa couplings on the magnetized $T^2_1 \times T^2_2$ and orbifolds including the $\mathbb{Z}_2^{\rm (per)}$ permutation and $\mathbb{Z}_2^{\rm (t)}$ twist. We also study the modular symmetry on such orbifold models. As an illustrating model, we examine the realization of quark masses and mixing angles.

Revisiting modular symmetry in magnetized torus and orbifold compactifications

We study the modular symmetry in $T^2$ and orbifold comfactifications with magnetic fluxes. There are $|M|$ zero-modes on $T^2$ with the magnetic flux $M$. Their wavefunctions as well as massive modes behave as modular forms of weight $1/2$ and represent the double covering group of $Γ\equiv SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$, $\widetildeΓ \equiv \widetilde{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Each wavefunction on $T^2$ with the magnetic flux $M$ transforms under $\widetildeΓ(2|M|)$, which is the normal subgroup of $\widetilde{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Then, $|M|$ zero-modes are representations of the quotient group $\widetildeΓ'_{2|M|} \equiv \widetildeΓ/\widetildeΓ(2|M|)$. We also study the modular symmetry on twisted and shifted orbifolds $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_N$. Wavefunctions are decomposed into smaller representations by eigenvalues of twist and shift. They provide us with reduction of reducible representations on $T^2$.

Modular symmetry by orbifolding magnetized $T^2\times T^2$: realization of double cover of $Γ_N$

We study the modular symmetry of zero-modes on $T_1^2 \times T_2^2$ and orbifold compactifications with magnetic fluxes, $M_1,M_2$, where modulus parameters are identified. This identification breaks the modular symmetry of $T^2_1 \times T^2_2$, $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})_1 \times SL(2,\mathbb{Z})_2$ to $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\equivΓ$. Each of the wavefunctions on $T^2_1 \times T^2_2$ and orbifolds behaves as the modular forms of weight 1 for the principal congruence subgroup $Γ$($N$), $N$ being 2 times the least common multiple of $M_1$ and $M_2$. Then, zero-modes transform each other under the modular symmetry as multiplets of double covering groups of $Γ_N$ such as the double cover of $S_4$.
