We propose a simple but realistic pattern of quark mass matrices at the string scale, which can be derived from orbifold models of superstring theory with no use of gauge symmetries. This pattern is left-right symmetric and preserves the…
A systematic analysis on the phenomenologically allowed textures in Hermitian quark mass matrices with four texture-zeros is presented. The current data allow a full determination of the mass matrix elements, provided that the actual number…
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.
We provide a complete and systematic analysis of hermitian, hierarchical quark mass matrices with four texture zeros. Using triangular mass matrices, each pattern of texture zeros is readily shown to lead to a definite relation between the…
We carry out a new study of quark mass matrices $M^{}_{\rm u}$ (up-type) and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ (down-type) which are Hermitian and have four zero entries, and find a new part of the parameter space which was missed in the previous works. We…
In this work we carry out an exhaustive study to find quark mass matrices in the Standard Model~(SM), with the maximum number of texture zeros consistent with the experimental data. We found four viable configurations of five texture zeros…
Using the triangular matrix techniques of Kuo et al and Chiu et al for the four and five texture zero cases, with vanishing (11) elements for U and D matrices, it is shown, from the general eigenvalue equations and hierarchy conditions,…
We look for all weak bases that lead to texture zeroes in the quark mass matrices and contain a minimal number of parameters in the framework of the standard model. Since there are ten physical observables, namely, six nonvanishing quark…
The hierarchical structure in the quark masses and mixings allows its ten physical parameters to be most conveniently encoded in mass matrices of the upper triangular form. We classify these matrices in the hierarchical, minimal parameter…
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…
We systematically investigate general forms of mass matrices for three-generation up and down quarks, including asymmetrical ones in generation space. Viable zero matrix elements are explored which are compatible with the current…
We give a general prescription for deriving quark and lepton mass matrices with ``texture'' zeros in the framework of superstring inspired $SO(10)$ models. The key to our approach is a new way to naturally implement the doublet--triplet…
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…
The phenomenology of the five independent sets of $3\times 3$ quark mass matrices with five texture zeros is carried through in full detail, including predictions for the CP violation asymmetries. Our study is done without any…
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…
The phenomenology of most general quark mass matrices with minimum of three texture zeros obtained through weak basis (WB) transformations has been discussed within the framework of the standard Model (SM). The relationship of textures,…

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 full parameter space of Hermitian quark mass matrices with four texture zeros is explored by using current experimental data. We find that all ten free parameters of the four-zero quark mass matrices can well be constrained. In…
Stimulated by the recent attention given to the texture zeros found in the quark mass matrices sector of the Standard Model, an analytical method for identifying (or to exclude) texture zeros models will be implemented here, starting from…
