Quark Mass Hierarchies and Maximal CP--Violation

TL;DR

This paper explores the relationship between quark and lepton mass spectra and flavor mixing, proposing a model where CP violation is nearly maximal, based on flavor symmetries.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach linking mass spectra to flavor mixing and maximal CP violation within models of quark mass matrices.

Findings

Flavor mixing closely related to mass spectra.

CP violation approaches maximal levels.

Model based on flavor symmetries explains observed phenomena.

Abstract

It is argued taking into account the observed mass spectra of the leptons and quarks that the phenomenon of flavor mixing is intimately related to the mass spectra. We discuss a particularly interesting way to describe the flavor mixing which is particularly suited for models of quark mass matrices based on flavor symmetries. CP violated is maximal or class to being maximal in our approach.
