We classify models of the Dirac neutrino mass by concentrating on flavor structures of the mass matrix. The advantage of our classification is that we do not need to specify detail of models except for Yukawa interactions because flavor…

In this paper, we study the implications of the modular $A^{}_4$ flavor symmetry in constructing a supersymmetric minimal type-(I+II) seesaw model, in which only one right-handed neutrino and two Higgs triplets are introduced to account for…
A super-modular category is a unitary pre-modular category with M\"uger center equivalent to the symmetric unitary category of super-vector spaces. Super-modular categories are important alternatives to modular categories as any unitary…
We study an approach to construct Siegel modular forms from $Sp(6,Z)$. Zero-mode wave functions on $T^6$ with magnetic flux background behave Siegel modular forms at the origin. Then $T$-symmetries partially break depending on the form of…
Discrete flavour symmetries have been proven successful in explaining the leptonic flavour structure. To account for the observed mixing pattern, the flavour symmetry has to be broken to different subgroups in the charged and neutral lepton…

A tentative approach to explain the flavor puzzle consists of embedding the Standard Model in a larger gauge symmetry that contains a separate gauge group for each fermion family. In such gauge non-universal (or flavor-deconstructed)…
The flavour lepton symmetry is gauged for both the Standard Model flavor group and its extension with three degenerate right-handed neutrinos. As a consequence of anomaly cancellation, exotic leptons are introduced which induce a see-saw…
The Majorana neutrino mass matrix combines information from the neutrino masses and the leptonic mixing in the flavor basis. Its invariance under some transformation matrices indicates the existence of certain residual symmetry. We offer an…
We investigate models of charged lepton and neutrino masses and lepton mixing based on broken modular symmetry. The matter fields in these models are assumed to transform in irreducible representations of the finite modular group $\Gamma_4…
Flavor symmetric model is one of the attractive Beyond Standard Models (BSMs) to reveal the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM). A lot of efforts have been put into the model building and we find many kinds of flavor symmetries and…
The mass matrix forms of quarks and leptons are discussed in theory with permutation flavor symmetry. The structure of scalar potential is analyzed in case that electroweak doublet Higgs fields have non-trivial flavor symmetry charges. We…
Present data prefer a large but non-maximal 2-3 mixing in the lepton sector. We argue that this value, in connection with $\sin\theta_{13}\simeq 0.15$, is the generic outcome of minimal flavour structures. We present a few different…
We study a finite SU(5) grand unified model based on the non-Abelian discrete symmetry A_4. This model leads to the democratic structure of the mass matrices for the quarks and leptons. In the soft supersymmetry breaking sector, the scalar…
We study quark and lepton mass matrices with the common modulus $\tau$ in the $A_4$ modular symmetry. The viable quark mass matrices are composed of modular forms of weights $2$, $4$ and $6$. It is remarked that the modulus $\tau$ is close…
String compactifications on an orbi-folded torus with complex structure give rise to chiral fermions, spontaneously broken CP, modular invariance. We show that this allows simple effective theories of flavour and CP where: i) the QCD angle…
This paper gives a simple method for constructing vector-valued Siegel modular forms from scalar-valued ones. The method is efficient in producing the siblings of Delta, the smallest weight cusp forms that appear in low degrees. It also…
We discuss a new general class of mass matrix ansatz that respects the fermion mass hierarchy and calculability of the flavor mixing matrix. This is a generalization of the various specific forms of the mass matrix that is obtained by…
