Abstract

In this letter, we demonstrate that products of third-order rephasing invariants VαiVβjVγk/detVV_{\alpha i} V_{\beta j} V_{\gamma k} / \det V of flavor mixing matrix VV reproduce all the nine angles of unitarity triangles and all the CP phases in the nine parameterizations of VV. The sum rules relating the CP phases and angles are also decomposed into terms of these rephasing invariants. Furthermore, through ninth-order invariants, these fourth- and fifth-order invariants become equivalent, which can be regarded as a certain duality. For the phase matrix Δ\Delta and the angle matrix Φ\Phi, Δ±Φ\Delta \pm \Phi are expressed in terms of even-permutations XX and odd-permutations Ψ\Psi of third-order invariant. As a result, these are represented by the two concise matrix equations Φ=ΨX\Phi = \Psi - {\rm X} and Δ=ΠΨX\Delta = \Pi' - \Psi - {\rm X}.
