Abstract

We study the soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking terms due to the modulus F-term in the modular flavor models of leptons. It is found that the soft SUSY breaking terms are constrained by the modular forms, and specific patterns are derived. Those phenomenological implications are discussed in such as the lepton flavor violation, μe+γ\mu \rightarrow e + \gamma decay. In order to examine numerically, two modular flavor A4A_4 models are taken. The SUSY breaking scale is significantly constrained by inputting the observed upper bound of the μe+γ\mu \rightarrow e + \gamma decay. The SUSY mass scale is larger than around 88 TeV and 55 TeV for the two A4A_4 models, respectively. Therefore, the current experimental upper bound for the μe+γ\mu \to e + \gamma decay corresponds to the new physics of the SUSY particle at the 55 -- 1010 TeV scale in the modular flavor models. The predicted branching ratio depends on a modulus τ\tau significantly. It decreases of one order at the large Imτ{\rm Im}\,\tau. We also calculate the branching ratios of tauon decays to e+γe + \gamma and μ+γ\mu + \gamma. Predicted ones are at most O(1015){\cal O}(10^{-15}), which are much below the current experimental bounds.
