On the standpoint of Occam's Razor approach, we consider the minimum number of parameters in the quark mass matrices needed for the successful CKM mixing and CP violation. We impose three zeros in the down-quark mass matrix with taking the…
In the context of texture 4 - zero and texture 5 - zero hierarchical quark mass matrices, CP violating asymmetry in $B^o_d({\bar B}^o_d) \to \psi K_S$ (sin2$\beta$) has been evaluated by considering quark masses at $m_Z$ scale. For a…
We analyze the different parametrizations of a general four-zero texture mass matrices for quarks and leptons, that are able to reproduce the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices. This study is done through a Chi-Square analysis. In quark sector,…
We investigate the prospects for scenarios with vanishing determinant neutrino mass matrices and vanishing $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle. Normal and inverse mass hierarchies are considered separately. For normal hierarchy it is found that…

In view of the recent measurement of nonzero $\theta_{13}$, we carry out a systematic study of a simple class of neutrino models that has one diagonal texture or cofactor zero in the mass matrix. There are seven free parameters in the model…
We analyze fermion mass-matrix structure in an asymptotically non-free model with 4 + 1bar generations. The texture at the GUT scale is uniquely determined by supposing that the masses of heavy up-type quarks (charm as well as top) are…
We assume that all quark and lepton mass matrices have upper triangular form. Using all available experimental data on quark and lepton masses and mixing angles we make a fit in which we determine mass matrices elements. There are too many…
We endeavor to constrain the neutrino mass matrix on the phenomenological ground and procure model-independent textures by emphasizing on the simple linear relationships among the mass matrix elements. These simple textures predict the two…
We introduce a new parameterization of four-fermion matrix elements which does not involve quark masses and thus allows a reduction of systematic uncertainties in physical amplitudes. As a result the apparent quadratic dependence of e'/e on…
Two down-up perspectives on quark mass-mixing relations are reviewed. The modified Fritzsch path relates $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ to $M_u$, but has trouble with the low $V_{cb} \simeq 0.04$ value. The modified Wolfenstein path focuses on the…
We reconsider an universal mass matrix model which has a seesaw-invariant structure with four-zero texture common to all quarks and leptons. The CKM quark and MNS lepton mixing matrices of the model are analyzed analytically.We show that…
Texture zeroes in neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ may give us hints about the symmetries involved in neutrino mass generation. We examine the viability of such texture zeroes in a model independent way through a bottom-up approach. Using…
The flavour neutrino puzzle is often addressed by considering neutrino mass matrices $m$ with a certain number of vanishing entries ($m_{ij}=0$ for some values of the indices), since a reduction in the number of free parameters increases…
A model of symmetry violation is described for a system that can spontaneously choose the left-handed or right-handed character of weak currents. For the hierarchic structure of fermion mass spectra, such a mirror symmetry system allows…
