Models with modular flavor symmetries have been thought to be highly predictive. We point out that these predictions are subject to corrections from non-holomorphic terms in the Lagrangean. Specifically, in the models discussed in the literature, the K\"ahler potential is not fixed by the symmetries, for instance. The most general K\"ahler potential consistent with the symmetries of the model contains additional terms with additional parameters, which reduce the predictive power of these constructions. We also comment on how one may conceivably retain the predictivity.

  1. Fermion mass relations in one-parameter modular models

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    One-parameter modular models predict exact high-scale mass relations m_s^5 = 2√2 m_d^3 m_b^2, m_μ^3 = √2 m_e m_τ^2 and m_s^2 m_τ = √2 m_e m_b^2 that become compatible with observed fermion masses after RG evolution an...
