Quark mass matrices inspired by a numerical relation

Abstract

In 1981, Yoshio Koide noticed that the square root values of the charged lepton masses satisfy the relation Q=me+mμ+mτ(me+mμ+mτ)223 Q=\frac{m_e+m_{\mu}+m_{\tau}}{(\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_{\mu}}+\sqrt{m_{\tau}})^2} \approx \frac{2}{3} Inspired by this relation, we introduce tentative mass matrices, using numerical values, and find matrices that display an underlying democratic texture.
