DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BAUR\, Alexander (Tecnical University of Munich &amp
 \; Nacional Autonomous University of Mexico)\nFlavor symmetry might play a
  crucial role in the standard model of particle physics\, but its origin i
 s still unknown. We consider a string theory-based scenario\, in which the
  flavor symmetry arises from the compactification of extra dimensions. We 
 observe that compactifications on toroidal orbifolds yield naturally discr
 ete flavor symmetries that consist of traditional flavor symmetries as wel
 l as modular symmetries\, combined in a so-called "eclectic flavor group".
  Consequently\, a remarkable feature arises: the unified flavor symmetry d
 epends on the position in moduli-space.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.m
