Abstract

We present the results of a numerical search for the Dirac Yukawa matrices of the Standard Model, consistent with the quark and lepton masses and their mixing angles. We assume a diagonal up-quark matrix, natural in \bs\mZ7\mZ3\bs{\m Z_7 \rtimes \m Z_3}, Bimaximal or Tri-bimaximal seesaw mixing, and SU(5)SU(5) unification to relate the down-quark and charged lepton Dirac Yukawa matrices using Georgi-Jarlskog mechanisms. The measured value of θ13\theta_{13} requires an asymmetric down-quark Yukawa matrix. Satisfying the measured values of both θ13\theta_{13} and the electron mass restricts the number of solutions, underlying the importance of the recent measurement of the reactor angle.
