Abstract

We study the modular symmetry in magnetized D-brane models on T2T^2. Non-Abelian flavor symmetry D4D_4 in the model with magnetic flux M=2M=2 (in a certain unit) is a subgroup of the modular symmetry. We also study the modular symmetry in heterotic orbifold models. The T2/Z4T^2/Z_4 orbifold model has the same modular symmetry as the magnetized brane model with M=2M=2, and its flavor symmetry D4D_4 is a subgroup of the modular symmetry.
