Description

We study the stabilization of an modulus by Coleman-Weinberg potential generated by coupling with matter fields, which is controlled by modular flavor symmetry. In this model we can not only regard the $\mathrm{Re}\,\tau$ direction as the QCD axion but also propose new potential model for inflation using the same potential.
