An algebraic model for quark mass matrices

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

In terms of an intergenerationU(3) algebra, a numerical model is constructed for quark mass matrices, predicting the top-quark mass around 108 GeV and theCP-violating phase around 71°. The CKM matrix is nonsymmetric in moduli with |V ub| being very small. The model is motivated by the author's previous work on three replicas of the Dirac particle, presumably resulting into three generations of leptons and quarks. The paper may be also viewed as an introduction to a new method of intrinsic dynamical description of lepton and quark mass matrices.

  11. ForN=1 eq. (A.5) is the usual Dirac equation and forN=2 it is equivalent to the Kähler equation,E. Kähler:Rend. Mat.,21, 425 (1962). Note that the latter equation was essentially discovered as early as 1928 by Ivanenko and Landau (Z. Phys.,48, 341 (1928)), soon after the Dirac equation (Proc. R. Soc. London,117, 610 (1928)).
