Modular symmetry of soft supersymmetry breaking terms

Abstract

We study the modular symmetry of soft supersymmetry breaking terms. Soft scalar masses and $A$-term coefficients are invariant under the modular symmetry when we regard $F$-term as a spurion with the modular weight $-2$. Their flavor structure is determined by the same symmetry as Yukawa couplings, i.e., fermion masses. The modular symmetric behavior of $\mu$-term and $B$-term depends on how the $\mu$-term is generated.
