We incorporate the idea of natural mass matrices into the construction of phenomenologically viable quark mass matrix patterns. The general texture pattern for natural Hermitian mass matrices is obtained and several applications of this…
We propose a three-zero texture for the down-quark mass matrix within a $SU(5)$ GUT-inspired Standard Model, enforced by a non-invertible selection rule originating from $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauging of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetries. Assuming CP…
In practically all extentions of the standard model, the neutrinos naturally acquire a mass. The neutrino mass matrix, however, contains many parameters which can neither be predicted by the prevailing models nor can be fitted to the data.…
A fermion mass matrix ansatz is proposed in the context of Grand Unified Supersymmetric Theories (GUTs). The fermion mass matrices are evolved down to the electroweak scale by solving the renormalization group equations for the gauge and…
We present a simple model for fermion mass matrices and quark mixing in the context of supersymmetric grand unified theories and show its agreement with experiment. Our model realizes the GUT mass relations $m_d=3m_e$, $m_s= m_\mu/3$,…
In the light of several recent analyses pointing towards texture 4-zero Fritzsch-like quark mass matrices as the only viable structures for quark mass matrices, this work adopts a model independent approach to reconstruct an alternate and…
Starting with the most general mass matrices, within the context of Standard Model and some of its extensions, incorporating the ideas of weak basis transformations and naturalness, we find that there exists a particular set of texture…
Group theoretical factors from GUT symmetry breaking can lead to predictions for the ratios of quark and lepton masses at the unification scale. Due to supersymmetric (SUSY) threshold corrections the viability of such predictions can depend…
A new procedure is developed which enables one to start from the quark and lepton mass and mixing data at the low scale and construct mass matrices which exhibit simple SO(10) structure at the SUSY GUT scale. This approach is applied to the…
We have recently argued that quark masses may follow a simple scaling law. In this paper we build a simple mass matrix for quarks that can reproduce the scaling law expression. The simple mass matrices of the model are then generalized…
We develop a systematic analysis of quark mass matrices which, starting with the measured values of quark masses and mixing angles, allows for a model independent search for all possible (symmetric or hermitian) mass matrices having texture…
The hierarchical quark masses and small mixing angles are shown to lead to a simple triangular form for the U- and D-type quark mass matrices. In the basis where one of the matrices is diagonal, each matrix element of the other is, to a…
We construct quark mixing matrices within a group theoretic framework which is easily applicable to any number of generations. Familiar cases are retrieved and related, and it is hoped that our viewpoint may have advantages both…
The issue of texture specific fermion mass matrices have been examined briefly from the `bottom-up' perspective. In case no conditions are imposed, the texture ansatze leads to a large number of viable possibilities. However, besides…
We study left-right symmetric quark mass matrices whose up- and down-sectors have the same structure. This type of realistic mass matrices are derived from orbifold models. We cannot derive some of them by using an extra U(1) symmetry.
Within the Standard Model, starting with the most general mass matrices we have used the facility of making weak basis transformations and have imposed the condition of `naturalness' to carry out their analysis within the texture zero…
Group theoretical factors from GUT symmetry breaking can lead to predictions for the ratios of quark and lepton masses (or Yukawa couplings) at the unification scale. Due to supersymmetric (SUSY) threshold corrections the viability of such…
We construct a natural measure on the space of CKM matrices in the standard model, assuming the fermion mass matrices are randomly selected from a distribution which fits the observed quark mass hierarchy. This measure allows us to assess…
In this paper we extend the supersymmetric SU(5) GUTs with the Nelson-Barr (NB) models. The NB models are a candidate for the solution of the strong CP problem. We show that the parameters in the CKM matrix are reproduced while the mass…
The unsuppressed CP violation in QCD is a problem in the standard model. If we have some mechanism to guarantee real determinants of the quark mass matrices, the vanishing physical vacuum angle $\bar \theta$ indicates the CP invariance at…
