Top Quark Mass Enhancement in a Seesaw-Type Quark Mass Matrix

Abstract

We investigate the implications of a seesaw type mass matrix, i.e., $M_f\simeq m_L{M}_F^{-1}{m}_R$, for quarks and leptons $f$ under the assumption that the matrices $m_L$ and $m_R$ are common to all flavors (up-/down- and quark-/lepton- sectors) and the matrices $M_F$ characterizing the heavy fermion sectors have the form [(unit matrix) + $b_f$ (a democratic matrix)] where $b_f$ is a flavor parameter. We find that by adjusting the complex parameter $b_f$, the model can provide that $m_t\gg m_b$ while at the same time keeping $m_u\sim m_d$ without assuming any parameter with hierarchically different values between $M_U$ and $M_D$. The model with three adjustable parameters under the ``maximal" top quark mass enhancement can give reasonable values of five quark mass ratios and four KM matrix parameters.
