Correlations between quark mass and flavor mixing hierarchies

We calculate the quark flavor mixing matrix V based on the Hermitian quark mass matrices Mu and Md with vanishing (1,1), (1,3) and (3,1) entries. The popular leading-order prediction |Vub/Vcb|≃mu/mc is significantly modified, and the result agrees with the current experimental value. We find that be...
