Noting the hierarchy between three mixing angles, $\theta_{2,3}={\cal O}(\theta_1^2)$, we present an exact form of the quark mixing matrix, replacing Wolfenstein's approximate form. In addition, we suggest to rotate the unitarity triangle,…
A review of the current status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix V_CKM is presented. This paper contains an update of the results published in hep-ph/9711261. Values of the parameters entering into the constraints, which restrict the…
Possible effects of noncommutative geometry on weak CP violation and unitarity triangles are discussed by taking account of a simple version of the momentum-dependent quark mixing matrix in the noncommutative standard model. In particular,…
The experimental status and theoretical uncertainties of the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the charge-changing weak transitions between quarks with charges -1/3 ($d, s, b$) and 2/3 ($u, c, t$) are reviewed. Some recent…
In the weak-coupling limit, kappa_0 going to infinity, the partition function of simplicial quantum gravity is dominated by an ensemble of triangulations with the ratio N_0/N_D close to the upper kinematic limit. For a combinatorial…
In Standard Model, CP violation arises from an irreducible complex phase in the quark mixing matrix, now under the name Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This description has shown remarkably overall agreement with various experimental…
The currently favored model of CP violation is based on phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the weak charge-changing couplings of quarks. The present status of parameters of this matrix is described. Tests of the…
The determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is a challenge for the $B$-factories. In this context, $B\to\pi K$ decays received a lot of attention, providing various interesting ways to constrain and…
A method is described which, under the assumption of SU(3) symmetry, allows one to determine the angle gamma=Arg(Vub^*) of the unitarity triangle from time-independent measurements of the branching ratios for the decays B^+ -> pi^0 K^+ and…
The angle gamma of the standard CKM unitarity triangle can be determined from B -> D K decays with a very small irreducible theoretical error, which is only due to second-order electroweak corrections. We study these contributions and…
If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
Phases of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, as obtained using decays of $B$ mesons to $\pi^+ \pi^-$, $\pi^\pm K^\mp$, and $\pi^+ K^0$ or $\pi^- \overline{K}^0$, are shown to have a class of discrete ambiguities. In…
It is shown that the weak phase gamma=arg(-V_{ud}V^*_{ub}V_{cb}V_{cd}^*) can be determined using only untagged decays B/Bbar--> D K_S. In order to reduce the uncertainty in gamma, we suggest combining information from B^{+-}--> DK^{+-} and…
We propose a new mechanism to generate a CP phase originating from a non-trivial Higgs vacuum expectation value in an extra dimension. A twisted boundary condition for the Higgs doublet can produce an extra dimensional coordinate-dependent…
I examine a possibility to extract the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle by the inclusive $B \to X_d \l^+ \l^- $ decay. An independent information for the angle is expected from the non-trivial contribution…
We present an updated global analysis of beauty decays sensitive to the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and of $D$-meson mixing data in the framework of approximate universality, in which CP violation in…
A quadrangle relation is shown to be satisfied by the amplitudes for $B^+ \to \pi^0 K^+,~\pi^+ K^0,~\eta K^+$, and $\eta' K^+$. By comparison with the corresponding relation satisfied by $B^-$ decay amplitudes, it is shown that the relative…
The value of the V_{ud} matrix element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be derived from nuclear superallowed beta decays, neutron decay, and pion beta decay. We survey current world data for all three. Today, the most…
The experimental status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is reviewed. Measurements discussed include B0_(s)-\bar{B}0_(s) mixing and several rare B and K decays with implications for |V_td| and |V_ts|. Extraction of |V_cb| and |V_ub|…
We re-examine the question of measuring the weak phase gamma in B -> K pi pi decays. To this end, we express all B -> K pi pi amplitudes in terms of diagrams. We show that, as in B -> K pi, there exist relations between certain tree and…
