Calculability of Quark Mixing Parameters from General Nearest Neighbor Interaction Texture Quark Mass Matrices

Abstract

We perform an analysis of general quark mass matrices in the general nearest neighbor interaction form. Excellent agreement with experiment is realized with this general texture, which is neither hermitian nor real-symmetric. We then propose a new class of quark mass matrices that contain no additional parameters other than the quark masses themselves, and thus possess calculability, i.e., ensure a relationship between the six quark masses and four flavor-mixing parameters of the Standard Model.
