Abstract

The residual Z223\mathbb Z^{23}_2 (Z2μτ\mathbb Z^{\mu\tau}_2) and Z212\mathbb Z^{12}_2 (Z2s\mathbb Z^s_2 or Z2s\overline{\mathbb Z}^s_2) symmetries can not only apply to the lepton sector, but also explain the mainly 11--22 mixing in the quark sector. With both up and down quarks subject to the same Z223\mathbb Z^{23}_2 symmetry, which interchanges the second and third generations, the 11--33 and 22--33 mixing angles in CKM vanish while the Cabibbo angle is dictated by two residual Z212\mathbb Z^{12}_2 symmetries. It turns out that the quark-lepton complementarity conditions are natural consequences of unifying residual Z223Z212\mathbb Z^{23}_2 \otimes \mathbb Z^{12}_2 symmetries in both lepton and quark sectors.
