Twin Modular $S_4$ with $SU(5)$ GUT

Abstract

We discuss the SU(5)SU(5) grand unified extension of flavour models with multiple modular symmetries. The proposed model involves two modular S4S_4 groups, one acting in the charged fermion sector, associated with a modulus field value τT\tau_T with residual Z3TZ_3^T symmetry, and one acting in the right-handed neutrino sector, associated with another modulus field value τSU\tau_{SU} with residual Z2SUZ_2^{SU} symmetry. Quark and lepton mass hierarchies are naturally generated with the help of weightons, which are SM singlet fields, where their non-zero modular weights play the role of Froggatt-Nielsen charges. The model predicts TM1_1 lepton mixing, and neutrinoless double beta decay at rates close to the sensitivity of current and future experiments, for both normal and inverted orderings, with suppressed corrections from charged lepton mixing due to the triangular form of its Yukawa matrix.
