The sets of charged-lepton (L) and quark (D,U) masses may be parametrized in a Z_3-symmetric language appropriate for the discussion of Koide's formula. Experiment suggests that at the low-energy scale the relevant phase parameters \delta_f…
Current experimental data indicate that the Koide relation for the pole masses of charged leptons, which can be parametrized as $Q^{pole}_l = 2/3$, is valid up to the accuracy of $O(10^{-5})$. We show that the running masses of charged…
The charged lepton masses obey to high precision the so-called Koide relation. We propose a generalization of this relation to quarks. It includes up and down quarks of the three generations and is numerically reasonably close to the Koide…
We apply Koide's mass relation of charged leptons to neutrinos and quarks, with both the normal and inverted mass schemes of neutrinos discussed. We introduce the parameters $k_{\nu}$, $k_u$ and $k_d$ to describe the deviations of neutrinos…
We analyze the lepton sector of a recently proposed nonsymmetric mass matrix model. Our model gives a unified description of quark and lepton with the same texture form based on an extended flavor $2 \leftrightarrow 3$ symmetry with a…
It is shown that empirical relations between the charged lepton spectra and the quark spectra together with a bimaximal or near bimaximal neutrino mixing matrix necessarily imply that there is a contribution to U(e3) given by…
Recently, we have proposed a quark mass matrix model based on U(3)$\times$U(3)$'$ family symmetry, in which up- and down-quark mass matrices $M_u$ and $M_d$ are described only by complex parameters $a_u $ and $a_d $, respectively. When we…
A finite group generated by four Z_3 transformations is applied to lepton families in a supersymmetric model, resulting in the charged-lepton masses m_i being proportional to v_i^2, where v_i are three vacuum expectation values. This may be…
We show that the observed structure of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles can arise entirely geometrically from superstring constructions, at the renormalizable level. The model we consider is a $Z_3$ orbifold compactification of…
An interesting mass relation between down type quarks and charged leptons has been recently predicted within a supersymmetric SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y model based on the A4 flavor symmetry. Here we propose a simple extension…
Inspired by the structure of top-down derived models endowed with modular flavor symmetries, we investigate the yet phenomenologically unexplored binary dihedral group 2D_3. After building the vector-valued modular forms in the…
We study quark and lepton mass matrices in the $A_4$ modular symmetry towards the unification of the quark and lepton flavors. We adopt modular forms of weights $2$ and $6$ for quarks and charged leptons, while we use modular forms of…
We discussed the scenario that a discrete flavor group combined with CP symmetry is broken to $Z_2\times CP$ in both neutrino and charged lepton sectors. All lepton mixing angles and CP violation phases are predicted to depend on two free…
We study a supersymmetric E6 grand unified model in which the SU(5) 5^* components are twisted in the third generation 27. Supplementing the adjoint Higgs field to a model analyzed previously, we calculate the mass matrices for the up and…
Two empirical formulae for the lepton and quark masses (i.e. Kartavtsev's extended Koide formulae), $K_l=(\sum_l m_l)/(\sum_l\sqrt{m_l})^2=2/3$ and $K_q=(\sum_q m_q)/(\sum_q\sqrt{m_q})^2=2/3$, are explored in this paper. For the lepton…
The contributions into radiative correction parameters S, T, U from the scalar leptoquarks are calculated in the minimal gauge model with the four-color quark-lepton symmetry. It is shown that the contributions into T and U from the scalar…
The quark and charged lepton masses and the angles and phase of the CKM mixing matrix are nicely reproduced in a model which assumes SU(3)xSU(3) flavour symmetry broken by the v.e.v.'s of fields in its bi-fundamental representation. The…
Under the hypothesis that the CP violating phase parameter \delta in the CKM matrix V takes own value so that the radius R(\delta) of the circle circumscribed about the unitary triangle takes its minimum value, possible phase conventions of…
Koide's mass formula is an empirical relation among the charged lepton masses which holds with a striking precision. We propose a mechanism for cancelling the QED correction to Koide's formula. This is discussed in an effective theory with…
A quark and lepton mass matrix model with family symmetries U(3)$\times$O(3) is investigated on the basis of the so-called yukawaon model. In the present model, quarks and leptons are assigned to $(\ell, e^c, u^c) \sim ({\bf 3}, {\bf 3},…
