Yukawa textures due to selection rules in magnetized orbifold models

Abstract

We study systematically Yukawa textures, which can be derived from magnetized $T^2/{\mathbf{Z}}_2$ and $T^2/{\mathbf{Z}}_4$ orbifold models with various magnetic fluxes and Scherk-Schwarz phases. Remarkably, the nearest neighbor interaction pattern as well as the diagonal Yukawa matrix is statistically favorable in $T^2/{\mathbf{Z}}_2$ orbifold models. Also, in $T^2/{\mathbf{Z}}_4$ orbifold models, selection rules are nontrivial and lead to textures, which cannot be derived from group-theoretical symmetries.
