Description

The modular symmetry provides us with an intriguing solution to the flavor mixing puzzle. In the bottom-up approach to the modular-invariant flavor models, the modulus parameter $\tau$ is usually treated as a free parameter. Interestingly, there exist some special values of $\tau$ called stabilizers at which residual symmetries can be preserved after the spontaneous breaking of the global modular symmetry. In this talk, I will discuss the application of modulus stabilizers on the modular invariant neutrino mass models. I will also briefly explore how to fix the value of $\tau$ via modulus stabilization.
