Flavor mixings and textures of the fermion mass matrices

Abstract

A comprehensive review of several aspects of fermion mixing phenomenon and texture specific mass matrices have been presented. Regarding fermion mixings, implications of unitarity and certain new developments for the CKM paradigm have been discussed. In the leptonic sector, the question of possibility of CP violation has been discussed in detail from the unitarity triangle perspective. In the case of texture specific mass matrices, the issues of viability of Fritzsch-like as well as non Fritzsch-like mass matrices have been detailed for both the quark and leptonic sectors. The relationship of textures, naturalness and weak basis rotations has also been looked into. The issue of the compatibility of texture specific mass matrices with the SO(10) based GUT mass matrices has also been discussed.
