We discuss how predictions of Fritzsch textures can be consistent with values of fermion masses and mixing angles if we embed them in a supersymmetric grand unified theory.
Hermitian mass matrices for the up and down quarks with texture zeroes but with the minimum number of parameters, ten, are investigated. We show how these {\em minimum parameter} forms can be obtained from a general set of hermitian…
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…
Against the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sectors will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sectors, on the basis of an idea that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the…
