Quark and lepton flavor structure in magnetized orbifold models at residual modular symmetric points

Abstract

We study quark and lepton mass matrices derived from magnetized $T^2/{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ orbifold models. Quark and lepton masses have a large hierarchy. In addition, mixing angles are large in the lepton sector, while those are small in the quark sector. We find that this structure can be realized in certain flavor models, which are identified by the zero points of the zero-mode wave functions of fermions and Higgs modes. We classify such realistic flavor models. Fixed points $\tau =i$, $e^{2\pi i/3}$ and $i\infty$ of the modulus $\tau$ play a role in realizing a large mass hierarchy through our scenario, where residual $S$, $ST$, and $T$ symmetries remain and the lightest Higgs modes can correspond to eigenstates of residual symmetries at the leading order. As a result, we find that there are 24 flavor models in total which can be realistic in a vicinity of $S$-symmetric vacuum but no flavor models for $ST$ and $T$-symmetric vacua.
