Description

We analyse the possibility of describing quark masses, mixing and CP violation in $S'_4$ modular flavour models without flavons. We focus on the case where the closeness of the modulus to the point of residual $\mathbb{Z}^{ST}_3$ symmetry (the cusp) plays a role in generating quark mass hierarchies and discuss the role modular form normalisations play in such constructions. We find that fitting quark data requires explicit CP breaking, unless a second modulus is introduced.
