Quark masses and CKM hierarchies from $$S_4'$$ S 4 ′ modular flavor symmetry

Abstract We propose models to explain the hierarchies of the quark masses and mixing by utilizing the $$S_4^\prime $$ S 4 ′ modular flavor symmetry. The hierarchy is realized by the modulus $$\tau $$ τ stabilized at $$\textrm{Im}\,\tau \gg 1$$ Im τ ≫ 1 , where the residual $$\mathbb {Z}_4^T$$ Z 4 T...
