Lepton masses and mixing from modular S4 symmetry

We study models of lepton masses and mixing based on broken modular invariance. We consider invariance under the finite modular group Γ4≃S4 and focus on the minimal scenario where the expectation value of the modulus is the only source of symmetry breaking, such that no flavons need to be introduced...
