Abstract

We present a unified framework for neutrino masses, baryogenesis, and dark matter based on a modular S4S_4 symmetry combined with a type-III seesaw mechanism. All Yukawa couplings, CP phases, and flavor textures originate from a single complex modulus τ\tau, whose vacuum expectation value controls both visible and dark sector dynamics. The same modular parameter fixes the neutrino mass matrix, determines the CP asymmetries driving resonant leptogenesis, and correlates the resulting baryon and dark matter abundances. A detailed numerical analysis shows that the model reproduces all neutrino oscillation data within the 3σ3\sigma NuFIT~5.2 (2024) ranges for normal ordering, predicting δCP±(150180)\delta_{\rm CP} \simeq \pm (150^\circ-180^\circ), mν(0.060.08) eV\sum m_\nu\simeq(0.06-0.08)~\mathrm{eV}, and an effective Majorana mass mββ(818)×103 eVm_{\beta\beta} \simeq (8 - 18)\times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{eV}, testable in next-generation neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments. The same modular Yukawas yield resonantly enhanced CP asymmetries ϵL,χ109106|\epsilon_{L,\chi}| \sim 10^{-9}-10^{-6} at MΣ107 GeVM_\Sigma \sim 10^{7}~\mathrm{GeV}, successfully generating the observed baryon asymmetry ηB6×1010\eta_B\simeq6\times10^{-10} and dark relic density Ωχh20.12\Omega_\chi h^2\simeq0.12 without additional free parameters. The predicted correlation Ωχ/ΩB5.4\Omega_\chi/\Omega_B\simeq5.4 fixes the dark matter mass to mχ0.12 GeVm_\chi\simeq0.1-2~\mathrm{GeV}, consistent with all current constraints. This framework therefore realizes a fully predictive baryon-dark matter co-genesis, where the geometry of the modular symmetry links the origin of flavor, CP violation, and the cosmic matter asymmetry.
