We study the modular symmetric standard-model effective field theory. We employ the stringy Ansatz on coupling structure that 4-point couplings y(4) of matter fields are written by a product of 3-point couplings y(3) of matter fields, i.e., y(4) = y(3)y(3). In this framework, we discuss the flavor structure of bilinear fermion operators and 4-fermion operators, where the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic modular forms appear. The bilinear operators with chirality flip are related with the successful mass matrix of quarks and leptons. We find some relations of the flavor changing transition at nearby fixed points τ = i, ω , i∞, which are testable in the future. As an application, we discuss the relations of the lepton flavor violation processes, μ → eγ, τ → eγ and τ → μγ. We predict BR(τ → μγ) ≫ BR(τ → eγ) ≫ BR(μ → eγ), and inputting the current upperbound of the branching ratio BR(μ→ eγ) < 4.2×10−13, we obtain BR(τ → μγ) < 1.4×10−9 and BR(τ → eγ) < 1.4×10−11. These predictions are different from the ones of the U(2) flavor symmetry. We also study the flavor changing 4-quark operators in the A4 modular symmetry of quarks. As a result, the minimal flavor violation could be realized by taking relevant specific parameter sets of order one.
