Description

This talk introduces a modular-symmetric approach to flavor, motivated by the geometry of extra dimensions. I focus on the modular A4​ framework with three moduli, assigned separately to the lepton and quark sectors. At their fixed points, each modulus exhibits a residual symmetry that shapes the corresponding mass and mixing patterns.
