Abstract
We discuss modular family symmetry in effective theories based on generic properties of bottom-up local F-theory inspired grand unified theories (GUTs) broken by fluxes, which we refer to as fluxed GUTs. We argue that the Yukawa couplings will depend on the complex structure moduli of the matter curves in such a way that they can be modular forms associated with these symmetries. To illustrate the approach, we analyze in detail a concrete local fluxed SU(5) GUT with modular S4 family symmetry. Published by the American Physical Society2025
