Abstract

We study modular symmetric quark flavor models without fine-tuning. Mass matrices are written in terms of modular forms, and modular forms in the vicinity of the modular fixed points become hierarchical depending on their residual charges. Thus modular symmetric flavor models in the vicinity of the modular fixed points have a possibility to describe mass hierarchies without fine-tuning. Since describing quark hierarchies without fine-tuning requires ZnZ_n residual symmetry with n6n\geq 6, we focus on Γ6\Gamma_6 modular symmetry in the vicinity of the cusp τ=i\tau=i\infty where Z6Z_6 residual symmetry remains. We use only modular forms belonging to singlet representations of Γ6\Gamma_6 to make our analysis simple. Consequently, viable quark flavor models are obtained without fine-tuning.
