Modular flavor models with positive modular weights: a new lepton model building
摘要
We propose an interesting assignment of positive modular weights for fields in a modular non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetry. By this assignment, we can construct inverse seesaw and linear seesaw models without any additional symmetries which possess good testability in current experiments. At first, we discuss possibilities for positive modular weights from a theoretical point of view. Then we show concrete examples of inverse seesaw and linear seesaw scenarios applying modular A4 symmetry as examples and demonstrate some predictions as well as consistency with experimental results such as neutrino masses and mixings.
