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 have carried out an extensive analysis of all possible minimal texture quark mass matrices implying 169 texture 6 zero combinations. One finds that all these combinations are ruled out, a good number of these analytically, the other…
We study the texture two zeros neutrino mass matrices using the standard parametrization for the neutrino mixing matrix. We find that if the origin of CP violation in the leptonic sector is not due to the Dirac-type complex phase of the…

The recent T2K, MINOS and Double Chooz oscillation data hint a relatively large $\theta_{13}$, which can be accommodated by some general modification of the Tribimaximal/Bimaximal/Democratic mixing matrices. Using such matrices we analyze…
We propose a new, minimal Majorana neutrino mass matrix texture and study its predictions within a partial tri-bimaximal (TBM) mixing scheme, where $\sin\theta_{12} = 1/\sqrt{3}$ and $\sin\theta_{23} = 1/\sqrt{2}$, with $\theta_{13}$ and…
We propose a model that all quark and lepton mass matrices originally have the same zero texture. Namely their (1,1), (1,3) and (3,1) components are zeros. For the neutrino mass matrix, we further impose the symmetry between the second and…
We argue here why CP violating phase Phi in the quark mixing matrix is maximal, that is, Phi=90 degrees. In the Standard Model CP violation is related to the Jarlskog invariant J, which can be obtained from non commuting Hermitian mass…
We examined the question that what is a general form of quark mass matrices which is achieved by the transformation that leaves the left-handed gauge interaction invariant. In particular, we analyzed in detail the Fritzsch-type and the…
The recent accurate determination of the CKM parameters including the maximal CP phase 90 degrees enables us to write down the up-type and down-type quark mass matrices to a high degree of accuracy. The lightest element(the uu element) of…
