Abstract: We propose models in which the hierarchical structures of the masses and mixing in both quark and lepton sectors are explained by the S4prime modular flavor symmetry near the fixed point ausimiinfty. The model provides the first explicit example which explains hierarchies of both quarks and leptons. The hierarchies are realized by powers of epsilon=e2piiau/4=mathcalO(0.01) and 2,mathrmIm,ausim5, where au being the modulus. The small parameter epsilon plays a role of flavon in the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism under the residual Z4T symmetry, and powers of 2,mathrmIm,au in the Yukawa couplings are controlled by modular weights via the canonical normalization. The doublet quarks are identified to a S4prime triplet to explain the hierarchical structure of the quark mixing angles, while the doublet leptons are composed of three singlets for the large mixing angles in the lepton sector. We show that the S4prime modular symmetry alone can explain the hierarchies in both quark and lepton sectors by mathcalO(1) coefficients.
