Abstract

We describe a solution to a long standing puzzle about the difference in textures of quark CKM and lepton PMNS mixing matrices by deriving their common representation. We show how the difference in texture of the two matrices arises from assignment of lepton and quark pairs to different representation of a discrete two element symmetry group. The symmetry is absent in the Standard Model. It appears if, instead of Dirac spinors, one describes fermions in terms of bi-spinors and induces essentially unique textures: tri-bimaximal for lepton and O({\lambda}) of Wolfenstein parameterization for quark mixing.
