We investigate the implications of a seesaw type mass matrix, i.e., $M_f\simeq m_L M_F^{-1} m_R$, for quarks and leptons $f$ under the assumption that the matrices $m_L$ and $m_R$ are common to all flavors (up-/down- and quark-/lepton-…
To extract sum rules of CKM matrix elements, eigenvalue problems for quasi-democratic mass matrices are solved in the first order perturbation approximation with respect to small deviations from the democratic limit. Mass spectra of up and…
We propose a novel quark mass matrix texture-pair with five free parameters, which fits the four quark mass ratios $m_s/m_b$, $m_d/m_b$, $m_c/m_t$, $m_u/m_t$, and the four CKM quark mixing observables. The matrices each have one texture…
We construct a model that allows us to determine the three neutrino masses directly from the experimental mass squared differences, $\Delta_{\rm atm}$ and $\Delta_{\rm sol}$, together with the assumption that $\Lambda = \surd (1/6) = \surd…
I define a set of conditions that the most general hierarchical Yukawa mass matrices have to satisfy so that the leading rotations in the diagonalization matrix are a pair of (2,3) and (1,2) rotations. In addition to Fritzsch structures,…
Unitarity along with precision measurements of sin2\beta, V_{us} and V_{cb} allows one to find a lower bound V_{ub}\geq 0.0035 which, on using the recently measured angle \alpha of the unitarity triangle, translates to V_{ub}= 0.0035\pm…
Comparing the theoretically predicted and measured values of the mass difference of the $B^{0}_{s}$ system, we estimate the lower bound on the mass of the $Z^{\prime}$ boson of models based on the $SU(3)_{c} \otimes SU(3)_{L} \otimes…
In an attempt to uncover any underlying structure in the neutrino mass matrix, we discuss the possibility that the ratios of elements of its Majorana mass matrix are equal. We call this "strong scaling Ansatz" for neutrino masses and study…
By evolution of fermion mass matrices of the Fritzsch and the Georgi-Jarlskog forms from the supersymmetric grand unified scale, DHR obtained predictions for the quark masses and mixings. Using Monte Carlo methods we test these predictions…
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…
A nearly historical account of quark mass matrix models is given, and the structure of quark mass matrices in the Standard Model is studied. For a minimal parameter basis suggested earlier, where $M_u$ is diagonal and $M_{d11}$, $M_{d13}$,…
A parametrization of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, $V$, is presented in which the parameters are the eigenvalues and the components of its eigenvectors. In this parametrization, the small departure of the experimentally…
In the context of Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero Hermitian quark mass matrices, we have attempted to find an `exact' formula for sin2\beta wherein the dependence of \beta on the quark masses and the elements of the quark mass matrices is…
Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, $\mt =174 \pm 10 ^{+13}_{-12}$ GeV, we review and update constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model.…
A quark mass matrix model $M_q=M_e^{1/2} O_q M_e^{1/2} $ is proposed where $M_e^{1/2}={\rm diag}(\sqrt{m_e},\sqrt{m_\mu},\sqrt{m_\tau})$ and $O_q$ is a unit matrix plus a rank one matrix. Up- and down-quark mass matrices $M_u$ and $M_d$ are…
We discuss a new mass matrix with specific texture zeros for the quarks. The three flavor mixing angles for the quarks are functions of the quark masses and can be calculated. The following ratios among CKM matrix elements are given by…
We present a new method for the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix element $|V_{tb}|$ from electroweak loop corrections, in particular those affecting the process $Z\to b\bar{b}$. From a combined analysis of…
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…
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 Standard Model, we obtain a non-Fritzsch like configuration with five texture zeros for the quark mass matrices. This matrix generates the quark masses, the inner angles of the CKM unitary triangle, and the CP-violating phase in the…
