Description
Summary:Abstract The formalism of non-holomorphic modular flavor symmetry is developed, and the Yukawa couplings are level N polyharmonic Maaß forms satisfying the Laplacian condition. We find that the integer (even) weight polyharmonic Maaß forms of level N can be decomposed into multiplets of the finite modular group Γ N ′ $$ {\Gamma}_N^{\prime } $$ (Γ N ). The original modular invariance approach is extended by the presence of negative weight polyharmonic Maaß forms. The non-holomorphic modular flavor symmetry can be consistently combined with the generalized CP symmetry. We present three example models for lepton sector based on the Γ3 ≅ A 4 modular symmetry, the charged lepton masses and the neutrino oscillation data can be accommodated very well, and the predictions for the leptonic CP violation phases and the effective Majorana neutrino mass are studied.
