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 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 $CP$ violati on 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.
Sum rules in the lepton sector provide an extremely valuable tool to classify flavour models in terms of relations between neutrino masses and mixing parameters testable in a plethora of experiments. In this manuscript we identify new leptonic sum ru les arising in models with modular symmetries with residual symmetries. These models simultaneously present neutrino mass sum rules, involving masses and Majorana phases, and mixing sum rules, connecting the mixing angles and the Dirac CP-violating phase. The simultaneous appearance of both types of sum rules leads to some non-trivial interplay, for instance, the allowed absolute neutrino mass scale exhibits a dependence on the Dirac CP-violating phase. We derive analytical expressions for these novel sum rules and present their allowed parameter ranges as well as their predictions at upcoming neutrino experiments.
We develop a general formalism for multiple moduli and their associated modular symmetries. We apply this formalism to an example based on three moduli with finite modular symmetries $S_4^A$, $S_4^B$ and $S_4^C$, associated with two right-handed neut rinos and the charged lepton sector, respectively. The symmetry is broken by two bi-triplet scalars to the diagonal $S_4$ subgroup. The low energy effective theory involves the three independent moduli fields $tau_A$, $tau_B$ and $tau_C$, which preserve the residual modular subgroups $Z_3^A$, $Z_2^B$ and $Z_3^C$, in their respective sectors, leading to trimaximal TM$_1$ lepton mixing, consistent with current data, without flavons.
We analyse how $U(3)^5$ and $U(2)^5$ flavour symmetries act on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, providing an organising principle to classify the large number of dimension-six operators involving fermion fields. A detailed counting of such operators, at different order in the breaking terms of both these symmetries, is presented. A brief discussion about possible deviations from these two reference cases, and a simple example of the usefulness of this classification scheme for high-$p_T$ analyses at the LHC, are also presented.
We consider for the first time level 7 modular invariant flavour models where the lepton mixing originates from the breaking of modular symmetry and couplings responsible for lepton masses are modular forms. The latter are decomposed into irreducible multiplets of the finite modular group $Gamma_7$, which is isomorphic to $PSL(2,Z_{7})$, the projective special linear group of two dimensional matrices over the finite Galois field of seven elements, containing 168 elements, sometimes written as $PSL_2(7)$ or $Sigma(168)$. At weight 2, there are 26 linearly independent modular forms, organised into a triplet, a septet and two octets of $Gamma_7$. A full list of modular forms up to weight 8 are provided. Assuming the absence of flavons, the simplest modular-invariant models based on $Gamma_7$ are constructed, in which neutrinos gain masses via either the Weinberg operator or the type-I seesaw mechanism, and their predictions compared to experiment.
