( Abstract
We discuss the relation between the CP violation of the quark mixing and that of the lepton mixing by investigating a CP violating observable, the Jarlskog invariant, as well as the CP violating Dirac phase. The down-type quark mass matrix with three zeros is given in terms of the minimal number of parameters, while the up-type quark mass matrix is diagonal. These quark mass matrices leading to the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation are embedded in both the Pati–Salam and SU(5) models. The leptonic Jarlskog invariant (as well as CP violating Dirac phase) is examined for two cases: the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal or non-diagonal, where no additional CP violating phase is introduced apart from the Majorana phases. In the case of the diagonal neutrino mass matrix, the favorable sign of the leptonic CP violation is obtained, however, the magnitude of is at most , which is too small compared with the expected value from the observation . In the case of the non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix where the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern is taken, we obtain the successful up to its sign.

1 Introduction
The standard model is well established by the discovery of the Higgs boson. However, the flavor theory of the quark and lepton mass matrices is still unknown. Therefore, we do not know a principle to determine the quark and lepton mass matrices. A long time ago, Weinberg [1] considered a mass matrix for the down-type quarks in the basis of the up-type quark mass matrix being diagonal. He assumed a vanishing (1,1) element in a matrix and the matrix to be symmetric in order to reduce the number of free parameters. Then, the number of free parameters is reduced to only two and hence he succeeded to predict the Cabibbo angle to be , which is very successful and called as the Gatto, Sartori, Tonin relation [2]. Fritzsch extended the above approach to the three family case [3, 4] where four zeros were set in both down-type and up-type quark mass matrices and these matrices were assumed to be Hermitian. Then, there were eight parameters against the ten observed data. However, it was ruled out by the observed Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix element 555More general study of four zeros was given in the nearest neighbor interactions [5]. . Ramond, Roberts and Ross also presented a systematic work with four or five zeros in the symmetric or Hermitian quark mass matrix [6]. Their textures are also disfavored under the precise experimental data at present, because four or five zeros is too tight to reproduce the ten observed data [7].
One of authors and Yanagida proposed quark mass matrices in the standpoint of “Occam’s Razor” approach [8] 666 The “Occam’s Razor” approach was at first introduced in the neutrino sector by [9], and its phenomenological discussions appeared in [10, 11]. , where the minimum number of parameters was taken for the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation without assuming the symmetric or Hermitian mass matrix of down-type quarks. Three zeros were imposed in the down-type quark mass matrix, and the up-type quark mass matrix was assumed to be diagonal. Therefore, the down-type quark mass matrix was given with six complex parameters. Among them, five phases are removed by the phase redefinition of the three right-handed and three left-handed down-type quark fields. After the field-phase rotation, there remain six real parameters and one phase which is the source of the CP violation. These seven parameters are the minimal number to reproduce the seven observed data: the three down-type quark masses and the four CKM parameters. It is emphasized that the three zeros are maximal zeros to keep one CP violating phase in the down-type quark mass matrix. This framework reproduces observed CKM mixing angles and the CP violating phase succesfully [8]. Indeed, it is found that thirteen textures of down-type quark mass matrix are completely consistent with the present experimental data of down-type quark masses and CKM parameters.
The phase in the down-type quark mass matrix is directly related to the CP violating phase in the CKM matrix. If the down-type quark mass matrix is related to the charged lepton mass matrix in the quark-lepton unification, the CP violating phase of the quark sector also appears in the charged lepton mass matrix. Then, the CP violating observable of the quark sector is correlated with that of the lepton sector. Linking the leptonic CP violation to the quark unitarity triangle is an attractive work [12] in order to develop the flavor physics of quarks and leptons since the recent experiments of neutrino oscillations strongly indicate the CP violation [13, 14].
We consider the unification of quarks and leptons in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model of grand unified theory (GUT). The charged lepton mass matrix is given by the down-type quark mass matrix with the Clebsch–Gordan (CG) coefficients which have been investigated comprehensively in the renormalizable or non-renormalizable operators of dimensions 4, 5, and 6 [15]. Such CG coefficients are necessary to reproduce the proper mass ratios of quarks and leptons. The CG coefficient for the SU(5) model is the well-known Georgi–Jarlskog factor: , if the renormalizable Yukawa couplings come only from renormalizable operators and the Higgs sits in a of SU(5) [16]. For the case of non-renormalizable operators, systematic studies have been presented focusing on the neutrino mixing angles in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model [17, 18].
In this work, we embed above successful quark mass matrices in the Pati–Salam model 777 The Pati–Salam model with different textures of up- and down-type quarks cannot be embedded into an SO(10) GUT since up- and down-type components of the 16-dimensional representation of SO(10) transform in the same manner. However, we can consider the Pati–Salam gauge group emerged directly from string theory [19]. and the SU(5) model by assuming that one single operator dominates each matrix element 888It is remarked that the neutrino mixing angles and the Dirac phase were obtained successfully for an asymmetric mass matrix of the down-type quarks in SU(5) and SO(10) [20].. We discuss correlations between the Jarlskog invariant (as well as the CP violating Dirac phase) of quarks and that of leptons by choosing relevant CG coefficients comprehensively. Our investigation is taken place for two cases: the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal or non-diagonal, where no additional CP violating phase is introduced apart from the Majorana phases.
In section 2, we summarize viable down-type quark mass matrices with three zeros. In section 3, we calculate the Jarlskog invariant and the CP violating Dirac phase of both quarks and leptons in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model of GUT. Section 4 is devoted to the summary of our work. In Appendix A, we show redundancy of our textures. In Appendix B, we show how to calculate the CKM mixing angles and the CP violation explicitly. In Appendix C, we present the charged lepton mass matrices in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model. In Appendix D, we present the relevant formulae of the CP violation.
2 Three texture zeros for down-type quarks
In the standpoint of the “Occam’s Razor” approach [8], the down-type quark mass matrix has been investigated by putting zeros at several elements of the mass matrix in the basis of the diagonal up-type quark mass matrix. Then, the number of free parameters of the mass matrix is reduced. It is found that the three texture zeros provide the minimum number of parameters needed for the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation.
Let us define the Lagrangian for the Yukawa couplings in the quark sector as follows:
[TABLE]
where , , and denote the left-handed quark doublets, the right-handed up-type quark singlet, the right-handed down-type quark singlet, and the Higgs doublet, respectively. The indices and denote flavors. The quark mass matrices are given as with GeV. In order to reproduce the observed quark masses and the CKM matrix with the minimal number of parameters, we take a diagonal basis for the up-type quark mass matrix:
[TABLE]
For the down-type quark mass matrix, we impose the three texture zeros. Then, the texture of the down-type quark mass matrix is given with six complex parameters. The five phases can be removed by the phase rotation of the three right-handed and three left-handed down-type quark fields. Therefore, there remain six real parameters and one CP violating phase, which are the minimal number to reproduce the observed data of down-type quark masses and the CKM parameters.
Now, we discuss textures for the down-type quark mass matrix. Let us start with taking , , elements of to be non-vanishing values to reproduce the observed bottom quark mass and the CKM mixing angles, and . Then, we have textures with three zeros for the down-type quark mass matrix. For our convenience, we classify them in two categories, (A) and (B) 999 The classification of categories A and B is only for our convenience because the freedom of unitary transformations of the right-handed down-type quarks spoil this classification as discussed in Appendix A. . We have textures with a non-vanishing element in (A) and 10 textures with a vanishing element in (B).
In the category (A), the following six textures are consistent with the present experimental data. Those six down-type quark mass matrices are parametrized after removing five phases by the phase rotation of quark fields as follows:
[TABLE]
where and are real parameters and is a CP violating phase. It should be stressed that our matrices are not symmetric at all. The CP violating phase is put in the entry. In the category (B), the element is zero. The following seven textures are also consistent with the present experimental data. After removing five phases by the phase rotation of quark fields, those seven down-type quark mass matrices are parametrized as
[TABLE]
We comment on the freedoms of unitary transformations of the right-handed quarks. Since the CKM matrix is the flavor mixing among the left-handed quarks, some textures in Eqs.(3) and (4) are equivalent each other due to the freedom of unitary transformations of the right-handed quarks. We show the redundancy among them in Appendix A.
The CKM matrix elements and the CP violating phase are given approximately as shown in Table 1 [8], where is defined by PDG convention [21]. There is another CP violating observable, the Jarlskog invariant [22]. It is derived from the following relation [28, 29, 30, 31] as presented in Appendix D:
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The predicted is exactly expressed in terms of the parameters of the mass matrix elements and it is consistent with the observed value [21] after fixing parameters of the matrix elements:
[TABLE]
In Table 1, we present instead of which is related as follows:
[TABLE]
We summarize three CKM matrix elements , the CP violating phase and in Table 1 for .
We can obtain a parameter region in which the observed CKM mixing angles and the CP violating phase are reproduced by inputting the three observed down-type quark masses and four CKM parameters (see Appendix B). In Ref. [8], quark masses and CKM parameters are taken at the electroweak (EW) scale [23] because Xing and Zhao [24] found that texture zeros of the quark mass matrix are essentially stable against the evolution apart from the magnitudes of matrix elements. The allowed region of parameters are presented in Table 4 of Appendix B.
In the present paper, we use quark masses and CKM parameters at the GUT scale since we discuss the quark-lepton unification. Indeed, we adopt quark masses and CKM parameters at the GUT scale in minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) [23, 25], which is also discussed in Appendix B. For the case of , we obtain a parameter region as follows:
[TABLE]
in GeV unit apart from , which are reduced by approximately compared with values of at the EW scale apart from as seen in Table 4. In our numerical discussions of the next section, we take the central values of these parameters:
[TABLE]
as a benchmark.
3 CP violation of leptons
We have viable 13 mass matrices of down-type quarks and discuss the flavor mixing in the lepton sector especially for the CP violation in the Pati–Salam GUT and the SU(5) GUT. The charged lepton mass matrix is related to the down-type quark mass matrix with CG coefficients in these GUT models. The CG coefficients are necessary to reproduce the relevant mass ratios of quarks and leptons. Possible CG coefficients have been obtained in the renormalizable or non-renormalizable operators of dimensions 4, 5, and 6 [15]. In the case of the Pati–Salam symmetry, possible CG coefficients for dimensions 4, 5, and 6 are
[TABLE]
For SU(5), we have possible CG coefficients:
[TABLE]
Let us discuss the charged lepton mass matrix corresponding to as a representative. In the Pati–Salam model, it is
[TABLE]
In the SU(5) model, the charged lepton mass matrix is the transpose of :
[TABLE]
We assume that one single operator dominates each matrix element. Then, the charged lepton mass matrix elements are given in terms of the down-type quark mass matrix elements and CG coefficients as follows:
[TABLE]
where , and are possible CG coefficients in Eq.(12) for the Pati–Salam model or in Eq.(13) for the SU(5) model. The phase is common to the phase in the down-type quark mass matrix of Eq.(3).
3.1 Flavor mixing only from charged leptons
In this subsection, we discuss the case where the lepton flavor mixing comes from only the charged lepton mass matrix. The neutrinos are supposed to be Majorana particles and their mass matrix is to be diagonal. They have three different mass eigenvalues with Majorana phases. We examine carefully if this model works or not by estimating the magnitude of the leptonic CP violating measure .
3.1.1 Pati–Salam model with diagonal neutrino mass matrix
The charged lepton mass matrix for the Pati–Salam model is given in Eq.(14). Then we have
[TABLE]
The left-handed mixing matrix of the charged leptons is given as a diagonalizing matrix of :
[TABLE]
We show in the leading order:
[TABLE]
where , , and are determined by the normalization condition. If the off-diagonal elements are much smaller than , , , and are in a good approximation. However, the present case is non-trivial due to the observed large mixing angles in the lepton sector.
The Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata (PMNS) matrix is defined as where is the left-handed mixing matrix for the neutrinos. Since the neutrino mass matrix is supposed to be diagonal, the PMNS matrix is
[TABLE]
After rephasing the mixing matrix, we obtain the PMNS matrix in the PDG convention [21] as follows:
[TABLE]
The CP violating Dirac phase is given as . If we compare with in Table 1, we have a sum rule of the CP violating phase between the quark and lepton sector:
[TABLE]
which gives by inputting [21]. Indeed, the numerical calculation gives as shown later. The predicted minus sign is favored. However, we should examine whether this PMNS matrix can leads to two large mixing angles while reproducing the observed mass hierarchy of the charged leptons by taking the relevant CG coefficients in Eq.(12).
In order to test the consistency of this PMNS matrix with the large flavor mixing angles, we calculate the magnitude of the leptonic CP violating measure [26] . It is expected to be much larger than that of quarks due to two large flavor mixing angles of the lepton sector. Indeed, the present best fit value of in the global analysis NuFIT [27] is given at the EW scale as:
[TABLE]
which is times larger than the observed one of quarks in Eq.(8).
As presented in Appendix D, the leptonic CP violating measure is obtained [28, 29, 30, 31] as 101010The neutrino mass term is defined as as given in Appendix D. Our corresponds to in [31].
[TABLE]
where and , and
[TABLE]
Therefore, we can obtain in terms of the charged lepton matrix elements from of Eq.(17) and the diagonal . With a result of for as presented in Table 2, we obtain
[TABLE]
Since these parameters of matrix elements are related to the down-type quark parameters by CG coefficients as seen in Eq.(16), we can express in terms of CG coefficients in Eq.(12) as:
[TABLE]
where is also given by the mass matrix elements approximately:
[TABLE]
as seen in Appendix B. There is a simple constraint for CG coefficients through the determinant of the mass matrices:
[TABLE]
By taking a ratio of the two equations, we have
[TABLE]
where Yukawa couplings of quarks and leptons are taken at the GUT scale of MSSM [25] (see Appendix B).
There is another constraint for and . As seen in Appendix B, a relation is given by the observations at the GUT scale. Since we have and , we should choose and from Eq.(12).
The last constraint comes from the following ratio (see also Appendix B),
[TABLE]
which is at the GUT scale.
The CG coefficients should be restricted so as to reproduce and as seen in Eqs.(30) and (27). Finally, we choose
[TABLE]
which leads to
[TABLE]
where the last mass ratio is rather small compared to the observed value . It is noticed that the calculated is two order smaller than the expected value in Eq.(23) although the predicted minus sign is favored.
Thus, the Pati–Salam model with in the case where the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal leads to the inconsistent prediction of with the observed value in Eq.(23). Indeed, the failure of the prediction for the magnitude of is due to the wrong prediction of the lepton large mixing angles:
[TABLE]
where we take the PDG convention for the mixing angles and the phase [21]. In order to overcome too small in the Pati–Salam model, we consider a non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix in the next subsection.
For other cases of the charged lepton mass matrices presented in Appendix C-1, we can also examine the magnitude of while reproducing the proper mass ratio of down-type quarks and charged leptons. We have presented the summary of and in Table 2. It is remarked that the sign of is opposite to the quark CP violation as far as the sign of CG coefficients are positive. However, the magnitudes of for all cases of textures are inconsistent with the expected value of observations in the Pati–Salam model.
3.1.2 SU(5) model with diagonal neutrino mass matrix
The charged lepton mass matrix for the SU(5) model is given in Eq.(15). Then, we have
[TABLE]
We obtain the left-handed mixing matrix of the charged lepton by diagonalizing :
[TABLE]
The leading order of is given as:
[TABLE]
where , , and are determined by the normalization condition.
The PMNS matrix is given as:
[TABLE]
Finally, we obtain the PMNS matrix in the following form after rephasing it:
[TABLE]
The CP violating Dirac phase is given as if is put in the numerator of the (1,3) entry. Indeed, is obtained as shown later.
We also calculate directly by Eq.(24) as:
[TABLE]
which is expressed also in terms of the down-type quark parameters and CG coefficients as follows:
[TABLE]
where CG coefficients are given in Eq.(13).
By a similar investigation of the mass ratios in the Pati–Salam model, the choice of CG coefficients are restricted. We find
[TABLE]
which leads to
[TABLE]
where the mass ratios are consistent with observed ones. The predicted is three order smaller than the expected value in Eq.(23) although the predicted minus sign is favored. Moreover, the PMNS mixing angle is very small compared with the observed one [27]:
[TABLE]
Thus, the SU(5) model with in the case where the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal also leads to the inconsistent prediction of with the expected value in Eq.(23). It is remarked that the sign of is opposite to the quark CP violation as far as the sign of CG coefficients are positive.
For other cases of the charged lepton mass matrices presented in Appendix C-2, we can examine the magnitude of while reproducing the proper mass ratio of the down-type quarks and the charged leptons. It is remarked that vanishes for , , , , and due to zero textures . For other non-zero cases, the magnitudes of are also inconsistent with the expected value from observations in the SU(5) model. We have presented the summary of and in Table 2.
3.2 Flavor mixing from both charged leptons and neutrinos
The magnitude of is two order smaller or less compared with the observed value Eq.(23) in the both Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model if the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal. In other words, the large two mixing angles of the PMNS matrix are not reproduced in the framework of the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model only by the charged lepton mass matrix with three zeros.
On the other hand, we know interesting ideas to relate the CKM matrix and the PMNS matrix, ”the quark-lepton complementarity” [32] and ”Cabibbo haze” [33]. In both approaches, the large lepton mixing angles come from the neutrino sector, but the link of the CKM matrix appears through the charged lepton sector. These approaches motivate us to consider a non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix in order to obtain the two large mixing angles.
This situation can be derived in the seesaw mechanism with the non-diagonal right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix while the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is still diagonal. Then, the new Dirac CP phase appears as well as the Majorana phases in general. However, if the (1-3) flavor mixing angle of the neutrino sector vanishes or is negligibly small, this new Dirac CP phase does not contribute to the PMNS matrix. Therefore, we can study the correlation between the CP violating Dirac phases in the quarks and leptons because the only CP violating phase is still common in both the quark and lepton sector. Majorana phases do not affect our analysis. Let us consider the case of vanishing . We can parametrize an orthogonal matrix which diagonalizes the neutrino mass matrix as
[TABLE]
where is a diagonal Majorana phase matrix. The neutrino mass matrix is given as:
[TABLE]
It is easy to find that the Majorana phase matrix disappears in .
3.2.1 Pati–Salam model with non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix
Let us start to discuss the case of the Pati–Salam model. The charged lepton mass matrix is in Eq.(14) while the neutrino mass matrix is in Eq.(46). We can calculate directly by use of the formula in Eq.(24). We obtain
[TABLE]
We write in terms of the leading order by taking account of the magnitudes of parameters in Eq.(11):
[TABLE]
If we suppose and , the leading terms turn to
[TABLE]
As a typical benchmark, we put the tri-bimaximal mixing [34, 35]: and . Then, we have
[TABLE]
We can predict by inputting the numerical values in Eq.(11) for the parameters , , , , ; and the CG coefficients from Eq.(12). If we choose CG coefficients as follows:
[TABLE]
we obtain
[TABLE]
which are almost consistent with the observed values. We must choose the CG coefficients from Eq.(12) so as to reproduce the minus sign of the expected in Eq.(23).
We can also obtain the mixing angles of the PMNS matrix:
[TABLE]
The predicted value of is consistent with the observed value () [27]. However, the predicted is little bit larger than the observed value () [27], while is about a half of observed value () [27]. Thus, it is understandable that the predicted is and it is smaller than the expected value: .
It should be commented that above data of mixing angles are presented at the EW scale, but our predictions are given at the GUT scale. The more accurate study including the RG evolution of the mixing angles is necessary for further discussions.
We present the summary of in the case where the neutrino mass matrix leads to the tri-bimaximal mixing in Table 3. It is remarked that all have the same sign as the quark CP violation as far as the sign of CG coefficients are positive. Therefore, one negative CG coefficient should be taken at least. The magnitudes of for all cases of textures can be consistent with the expected value in order-of-magnitude estimate while the proper mass ratios between down-type quarks and charged leptons are reproduced.
3.2.2 SU(5) model with non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix
We discuss the case of the SU(5) model with the charged lepton mass matrix in Eq.(15) and the neutrino mass matrix in Eq.(46). By using Eq.(24), we have
[TABLE]
We express in the leading order as:
[TABLE]
If we suppose and , is given as:
[TABLE]
In the tri-bimaximal mixing basis, and , the approximated Jarlskog invariant becomes
[TABLE]
We can predict by inputting the numerical values in Eq.(11) for the parameters , , , , and ; and the CG coefficients from Eq.(13). We use the following choice of CG coefficients as:
[TABLE]
Then, we obtain
[TABLE]
Thus, the expected value of in Eq.(23) is easily reproduced up to its sign by taking the relevant CG coefficients. We also show the mixing angles of the PMNS matrix numerically:
[TABLE]
The predicted value of is consistent with the observed value () [27]. The predicted is also consistent with the observed value () [27]. However, is rather larger than the observed value () [27]. Since above data of mixing angles are presented at the EW scale, the study including the RG evolution of the mixing angles is necessary in further discussions.
We have presented the summary of in the case where the neutrino mass matrix leads to the tri-bimaximal mixing in Table 3. It is noticed that the sign of depends on the textures apart from the sign of CG coefficients. Since there are several kinds of the CG coefficients with minus sign, it is easy to predict the successful in order-of-magnitude estimate with the favorable mass relations between the down-type quarks and charged leptons.
4 Summary
We have investigated the relation between CP violations in the quark sector and that in the lepton sector, especially for the sign of the CP violating Dirac phase in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model. In the standpoint of “Occam’s Razor”, we have considered the down-type quark mass matrix with three zeros while the up-type quark mass matrix is diagonal, which leads to the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation. The down-type quark mass matrix has six real parameters and one phase which is the only source of the CP violation in the quark sector. The thirteen textures of down-type quark mass matrix are consistent with the present experimental data of quark masses and CKM parameters.
These successful quark mass matrices are embedded in the Pati–Salam model and the SU(5) model where one single operator dominates each matrix element. Then, the down-type quark mass matrix is related to the charged lepton mass matrix. The charged lepton mass matrix is obtained from the down-type quark mass matrix with CG coefficients of the symmetry which are necessary to reproduce the observed mass ratios of quarks and leptons. Therefore, the CP violating phase in the down-type quark mass matrix also appears in the charged lepton mass matrix. Our investigation is taken place for both two cases: the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal or non-diagonal, where no additional CP violating phase is introduced apart from the Majorana phases.
In the case of the diagonal neutrino mass matrix, we have presented a lepton mixing (PMNS) matrix for a typical texture of quarks and leptons for both Pati–Salam and SU(5) models. The minus sign of () and the proper mass ratios between down-type quarks and charged leptons are obtained by choosing relevant CG coefficients. However, the predicted magnitude of Jarlskog invariant is at most which is two order smaller than the expected value of the observation . The other twelve textures of the quark and lepton mass matrices are in the same situations as the above texture.
We have also discussed in the case of the non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix where a new CP violating phase does not appear apart from the Majorana phases. We have taken the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern of the neutrino mass matrix as a benchmark and investigated the magnitude of . For the Pati–Salam model, a negative CG coefficient is required to reproduce the minus sign of for the all cases of textures. We have predicted the proper mass ratios of down-type quarks and charged leptons as well as the magnitudes of which is almost consistent with the observed one. For the SU(5) model, we have shown the successful prediction of by choosing the relevant CG coefficients in a typical texture of the mass matrix. The sign of is different for the textures in the SU(5) model as seen in Table 3. The precise measurement of including its sign provides an important key towards the quark-lepton unification in GUT.
Our predictions have been given at the GUT scale. The systematic study including the RG evolution from the EW scale to the GUT scale will appear elsewhere.

Appendix
Appendix A Redundancy of our textures
Since the CKM matrix is the flavor mixing among the left-handed quarks, the textures in Eqs.(3) and (4) have freedoms of the unitary transformation of the right-handed quarks. Under such a transformation, is invariant. We can easily find that some textures are transformed into other ones as follows:

where the notation means the equivalence up to the unitary transformation of the right-handed quarks.
Appendix B Masses and CKM parameters for
We show how to predict the CKM mixing angles and the CP violation for the case of in Eq.(3) as a representative. Since the up-type quark mass matrix is diagonal, the CKM matrix is obtained as a diagonalizing matrix of the down-type quark mass matrix . In order to determine the left-handed quark mixing angles, we diagonalize ;

By solving the eigenvalue equation of , we obtain the following relations between the down-type quark masses and the parameters:

Moreover, the eigenvectors lead to the CKM matrix elements and the CKM phase which are given in accordance with the PDG parametrization [21]. Those of the leading order are

In the case of , we can express in terms of the mass matrix elements:
[TABLE]
It is convenient to eliminate the parameters , , and by using Eq.(63) in the numerical calculations. As an input, we adopt the data of the down-type quark Yukawa couplings at the EW scale by taking C.L [23] as
[TABLE]
which give down-type quark masses as with GeV.
After inputting the Yukawa couplings of down-type quarks, we have four parameters , , , and , which are determined by the four CKM parameters. The allowed region of parameters are listed in Table 4 [8].
In order to perform numerical discussions at the GUT scale, we adopt the following inputs, down-type quark Yukawa couplings and CKM parameters, at the GUT scale GeV with in the framework of MSSM [25]:
[TABLE]
where PDG notations are used [21]. We also show the charged lepton Yukawa couplings at the GUT scale with [25]:
[TABLE]
where the charged lepton masses are given as .
Appendix C Charged lepton mass matrices
We summarize the charged lepton mass matrix in both the Pati–Salam and SU(5) models.
C.1 Pati–Salam model

C.2 SU(5) model

Appendix D Formulae of CP violation
We present a brief review of the formulae of the CP violation [28, 29, 30, 31]. The CP transformations with generations are given as:
[TABLE]
for the quarks in flavor basis and
[TABLE]
for the leptons in flavor basis. Here the matrices and are unitary matrices which act in generation space and denotes the charge conjugation operator. In order to hold invariance under the CP transformations Eqs.(74)-(80) for the mass terms,
[TABLE]
the mass matrices should satisfy,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where . By using the conditions Eqs.(84) and (85), we obtain necessary conditions of CP invariance:
[TABLE]
The CP invariance does not hold if the mass matrices do not satisfy the conditions in Eq.(86). We obtain the following relations by computing and ,
[TABLE]
where and denote CKM and PMNS matrix, respectively. By using Jarlskog invariants and defined as [21]:
[TABLE]
where is completely antisymmetric tensor, we obtain
[TABLE]
Here we have defined
[TABLE]
We can see from the Eqs.(91) and (92) that the sign of Jarlskog invariant for leptons is opposite to that for quarks if the signs of and are the same.
If and are diagonal matrices, Eqs.(87) and (88) can be rewritten as follows:

The imaginary part can be rewritten in terms of the elements of mass matrices and :
