Abstract

We propose a solution to the SUSY μ\mu-problem within the framework of modular flavor symmetry. The explicit μ\mu-term is prohibited by modular symmetry, and an effective μ\mu-term is regenerated following the stabilization of the modulus field. We examine the stabilization mechanism of a single modulus field with the presence of SUSY breaking contributions described by the non-linear SUSY realization scheme involving a nilpotent Goldstino Xnl\textbf{X}_{nl} superfield. A natural small μeff\mu_{eff}, significantly smaller than the SUSY scale, can result from either the expansion of typical modular forms using a small deviation parameter near the fixed point ω\omega, or from the combined effects of suppression by powers of q1/24q^{1/24} [or (2τ)1(2\Im\tau)^{-1}] along with the asymptotic suppression behavior of typical modular forms away from the fixed point ii\infty, taking the form of appropriate power of the tiny deviation parameter. A natural small μeff\mu_{eff} can also be achieved by a weighton-like mechanism for HuHdH_uH_d bilinear.
