Abstract

We discuss the quark mass matrices in the A4A_4 modular symmetry, where the A4A_4 triplet of Higgs is introduced for each up-quark and down-quark sectors, respectively. The model has six real parameters and two complex parameters in addition to the modulus τ\tau. By inputting six quark masses and three CKM mixing angles, we can predict the CP violation phase δ\delta and the Jarlskog invariant JCPJ_{CP}. The predicted ranges of δ\delta and JCPJ_{CP} are consistent with the observed values. The absolute value of VubV_{ub} is smaller than 0.00430.0043, while VcbV_{cb} is lager than 0.04360.0436. In conclusion, our quark mass matrices with the A4A_4 modular symmetry can reproduce the CKM mixing matrix completely with observed quark masses.
