We study the problem of modulus stabilisation in the framework of the modular symmetry approach to the flavour problem. By analysing simple UV-motivated CP-invariant potentials for the modulus tau we find that a class of these potentials has (non-fine-tuned) CP-breaking minima in the vicinity of the point of Z(3)(ST) residual symmetry, tau similar or equal to e(2 pi i/3). Stabilising the modulus at these novel minima breaks spontaneously the CP symmetry and can naturally explain the mass hierarchies of charged leptons and possibly of quarks.

Abstract
We study the problem of modulus stabilisation in the framework of the modular symmetry approach to the flavour problem. By analysing simple UV-motivated CP-invariant potentials for the modulus tau we find that a class of these potentials has (non-fine-tuned) CP-breaking minima in the vicinity of the point of Z(3)(ST) residual symmetry, tau similar or equal to e(2 pi i/3). Stabilising the modulus at these novel minima breaks spontaneously the CP symmetry and can naturally explain the mass hierarchies of charged leptons and possibly of quarks.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
