We study the spontaneous $CP$ violation through the stabilization of the modulus $tau$ in modular invariant flavor models. The $CP$-invaraiant potentential has the minimum only at ${rm Re}[tau] = 0$ or 1/2. From this prediction, we study $CP$ violation in modular invariant flavor models. The physical $CP$ phase is vanishing. The important point for the $CP$ conservation is the $T$ transformation in the modular symmetry. One needs the violation of $T$ symmetry to realize the spontaneous $CP$ violation.

The idea of modular invariance provides a novel explanation of flavour mixing. Within the context of finite modular symmetries $Gamma_N$ and for a given element $gamma in Gamma_N$, we present an algorithm for finding stabilisers (specific values for moduli fields $tau_gamma$ which remain unchanged under the action associated to $gamma$). We then employ this algorithm to find all stabilisers for each element of finite modular groups for $N=2$ to $5$, namely, $Gamma_2simeq S_3$, $Gamma_3simeq A_4$, $Gamma_4simeq S_4$ and $Gamma_5simeq A_5$. These stabilisers then leave preserved a specific cyclic subgroup of $Gamma_N$. This is of interest to build models of fermionic mixing where each fermionic sector preserves a separate residual symmetry.
We have performed a systematical analysis of lepton and quark masses models based on $Gamma_4cong S_4$ modular symmetry with gCP symmetry. We have considered both cases that neutrinos are Majorana particles and Dirac particles. All possible nontrivial representation assignments of matter fields are considered, and the most general form of fermion mass matrices are given. The phenomenologically viable models with the lowest number of free parameters together with the results of fit are presented. We find out nine lepton models with seven real free parameters including the real and imaginary parts of modulus for Majorana neutrinos, which can accommodate the lepton masses and neutrino oscillation data. The prediction for leptogenesis is studied in an example lepton model. The observed baryon asymmetry as well as lepton masses and mixing angles can be explained. For Dirac neutrinos, four lepton models with five real free couplings are compatible with experimental data. Ten quark models containing seven couplings are found to be able to accommodate the hierarchical quark masses and mixing angles and CP violation phase. Furthermore, the $S_4$ modular symmetry can provide a unified description of lepton and quark flavor structure, and a benchmark model is presented.
The electric dipole moment (EDM) of electron is studied in the supersymmetric $rm A_4$ modular invariant theory of flavors with CP invariance. The CP symmetry of the lepton sector is broken by fixing the modulus $tau$. Lepton mass matrices are completely consistent with observed lepton masses and mixing angles in our model. In this framework, a fixed $tau$ also causes the CP violation in the soft SUSY breaking terms. The elecrton EDM arises from the CP non-conserved soft SUSY breaking terms. The experimental upper bound of the electron EDM excludes the SUSY mass scale below $2-6$ TeV for five cases of the lepton mass matrices. In order to see the effect of CP phase of the modulus $tau$, we examine the correlation between the electron EDM and the decay rate of the $mu rightarrow e gamma$ decay, which is also predicted by the soft SUSY breaking terms. The correlations are clearly predicted in contrast to models of the conventional flavor symmetry. The SUSY mass scale will be constrained by the future sensitivity of the electron EDM, $|d_e/e| simeq 10^{-30}$. Indeed, it could probe the SUSY mass range of $10-20$ TeV in our model. Thus, the electron EDM provides a severe test of the CP violation via the modulus $tau$ in the supersymmetric modular invariant theory of flavors.
We explore realizations of minimal flavor violation (MFV) for leptons in the simplest seesaw models where the neutrino mass generation mechanism is driven by new fermion singlets (type I) or triplets (type III) and by a scalar triplet (type II). We also discuss similarities and differences of the MFV implementation among the three scenarios. To study the phenomenological implications, we consider a number of effective dimension-six operators that are purely leptonic or couple leptons to the standard-model gauge and Higgs bosons and evaluate constraints on the scale of MFV associated with these operators from the latest experimental information. Specifically, we employ the most recent measurements of neutrino mixing parameters as well as the currently available data on flavor-violating radiative and three-body decays of charged leptons, mu -> e conversion in nuclei, the anomalous magnetic moments of charged leptons, and their electric dipole moments. The most stringent lower-limit on the MFV scale comes from the present experimental bound on mu -> e gamma and can reach 500 TeV or higher, depending on the details of the seesaw scheme. With our numerical results, we illustrate some important differences among the seesaw types. In particular, we show that in types I and III there are features which can bring about potentially remarkable effects which do not occur in type II. In addition, we comment on how one of the new effective operators can induce flavor-changing dilepton decays of the Higgs boson, which may be probed in upcoming searches at the LHC.
We present a flavor model with the $S_3$ modular invariance in the framework of SU(5) GUT. The $S_3$ modular forms of weights $2$ and $4$ give the quark and lepton mass matrices with a common complex parameter, the modulus $tau$. The GUT relation of down-type quarks and charged leptons is imposed by the VEV of adjoint 24-dimensional Higgs multiplet in addition to the VEVs of $5$ and $bar 5$ Higgs multiples of SU(5). The observed CKM and PMNS mixing parameters as well as the mass eigenvalues are reproduced properly. We discuss the leptonic CP phase and the effective mass of the neutrinoless double beta decay with the sum of neutrino masses.
