Current experimental data indicate that two unitarity triangles of the CKM quark flavor mixing matrix V are almost the right triangles with \alpha \approx 90^\circ. We find that \alpha = 90^\circ actually points to {\rm…
The quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) relations indicate a deep structure that interrelates quarks and leptons. We propose new scenarios, in a seesaw framework with discrete $A_4$ flavor symmetry, which can accommodate the QLC relations…
The determination of CP violating phases in the Majorana neutrino mixing matrix using phenomenological constraints from neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double beta decay, ($\mu^-, e^+$) conversion and few other processes is discussed.…
We confront the new physics models with extra iso-singlet down quarks in the new CP violation experimental era with $\sin{(2\beta)}$ and $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ measurements, $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ events, and $x_s$ limits. The…
The latest experimental progress have established three kinds of neutrino oscillations with three mixing angles measured to rather high precision. There is still one parameter, i.e., the CP violating phase, missing in the neutrino mixing…
We propose the lepton mixing matrix at high energy scale to be connected to quark mixing matrix by the similar transformation. The similarity between CKM and PMNS significantly narrows down the ranges in physical parameters. The condition…
The recent established large $\theta_{13}$ in neutrino mixing provides an optimistic possibility for the investigation of the CP violation, therefore it is necessary to study the CP-violating phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$ in detail. Based on the…
Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled…
We consider a scenario for the Quark-Lepton Complementarity relations between mixing angles in which the bi-maximal mixing follows from the neutrino mass matrix. According to this scenario in the lowest order the angle \theta_{12} is \sim…
Three symmetry constraints on the CP violations in QCD are discussed in this paper. In order to generate CP violating observables from QCD, these constraints require: (1) spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, (2) explicit chiral symmetry…
The current analysis of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa(CKM) quark mixing matrix uses the standard parametrisation by 3 mixing angles and the CP-violating KM phase. However it would be more convenient to express these mixing angle parameters…
In an analogy to the case of axion, which converts the $\Theta$-angle into a dynamical degree of freedom, we are trying to imagine a situation where the quark mixing angles turn out to be dynamical degrees of freedom (pseudo-Goldstone…
We demonstrate that only two ansatz can produce the features of the neutrino mixing angles. The first ansatz comes from the quark-lepton grand unification; $\nu_{Di} = V_{CKM} \nu_{\alpha}$ is satisfied for left-handed neutrinos, where…
For flavor neutrino masses M^{PDG}_{ij} (i,j=e,mu,tau) compatible with the phase convention defined by Particle Data Group (PDG), if neutrino mixings are controlled by small corrections to those with sin(theta_{13})=0 denoted by…
We study a class of quark mass matrix models with the $\cal CP$-violating phase determined through making the $\cal CP$-violating parameter $J$ an extremum. These models assume that $m_u \ll m_c \ll m_t$ and that $m_d \ll m_s \ll m_b$. They…
The ratio $\Delta m_K/m_K$ within the standard model with 3 generations is calculated as a function of the CP nonconserving phase $\delta_{13}$ and the quark masses $m_c,m_t$ assuming the current values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at $B$ factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done…
We perform a global analysis of neutrino oscillation data, including high-precision measurements of the neutrino mixing angle theta_13 at reactor experiments, which have confirmed previous indications in favor of theta_13>0. Recent data…
In this work, we have modified a scenario, originally proposed by Grimus and Lavoura, in order to obtain maximal values for atmospheric mixing angle and CP violating Dirac phase of the lepton sector. To achieve this, we have employed CP 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…
