Radiative correction on moduli stabilization in modular flavor symmetric models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-12-22 v2

Abstract

We study the radiative corrections to the stabilization of the complex structure modulus τ\tau in modular flavor symmetric models. We discuss the possibility of obtaining the vacuum expectation value of τ\tau in the vicinity of the fixed point where residual symmetries remain unbroken. As concrete examples, we analyze the 1-loop Coleman-Weinberg potential in the A4A_4 modular flavor models. We show that the 1-loop correction may lead to the slight deviation from the tree level result, which may realize a phenomenologically preferred value of the complex structure modulus τ\tau particularly when the number of species contributing to the 1-loop correction is large enough.
