Soft supersymmetry breaking terms and lepton flavor violations in modular flavor models

Abstract

We study the soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking terms due to the modulus F-term in the modular flavor models of leptons. It is found that the soft SUSY breaking terms are constrained by the modular forms, and specific patterns are derived. Those phenomenological implications are discussed in such as the lepton flavor violation, $\mu \to e+\gamma$ decay. In order to examine numerically, two modular flavor $A_4$ models are taken. The SUSY breaking scale is significantly constrained by inputting the observed upper bound of the $\mu \to e+\gamma$ decay. The SUSY mass scale is larger than around $8$ TeV and $5$ TeV for the two $A_4$ models, respectively. Therefore, the current experimental upper bound for the $\mu \to e+\gamma$ decay corresponds to the new physics of the SUSY particle at the $5$ -- $10$ TeV scale in the modular flavor models. The predicted branching ratio depends on a modulus $\tau$ significantly. It decreases of one order at the large $\mathrm{Im}\tau$. We also calculate the branching ratios of tauon decays to $e+\gamma$ and $\mu +\gamma$. Predicted ones are at most $\mathcal{O}(10^{-15})$, which are much below the current experimental bounds.
