Texture zeros of quark mass matrices at fixed point $\tau =\omega$ in modular flavor symmetry

Abstract

We study systematically derivation of the specific texture zeros, that is the nearest neighbor interaction (NNI) form of the quark mass matrices at the fixed point $\tau =\omega$ in modular flavor symmetric models. We present models that the NNI forms of the quark mass matrices are simply realized at the fixed point $\tau =\omega$ in the $A_4$ modular flavor symmetry by taking account multi-Higgs fields. Such texture zero structure originates from the $ST$ charge of the residual symmetry $Z_3$ of $SL(2,Z)$. The NNI form can be realized at the fixed point $\tau =\omega$ in $A_4$ and $S_4$ modular flavor models with two pairs of Higgs fields when we assign properly modular weights to Yukawa couplings and $A_4$ and $S_4$ representations to three generations of quarks. We need four pairs of Higgs fields to realize the NNI form in $A_5$ modular flavor models.
