abstract

Two empirical formulae for the lepton and quark masses (i.e. Kartavtsev's extended Koide formulae), $K_l=(\sum_l m_l)/(\sum_l\sqrt{m_l})^2=2/3$ and $K_q=(\sum_q m_q)/(\sum_q\sqrt{m_q})^2=2/3$, are explored in this paper. For the lepton sector, we show that $K_l=2/3$, only if the uncertainty of the tauon mass is relaxed to about $2\sigma$ confidence level, and the neutrino masses can consequently be extracted with the current experimental data. For the quark sector, the extended Koide formula should only be applied to the running quark masses, and $K_q$ is found to be rather insensitive to the renormalization effects in a large range of energy scales from GeV to $10^{12}$ GeV. However, $K_q$ is always slightly larger than $2/3$, but the discrepancy is merely about $5\%$.

  1. A minimization theorem for the Koide ratio and its Standard Model calibration

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Extending any positive-mass set by one particle minimizes the Koide ratio to Q0/(1+Q0) at m* = [(sum mi)/(sum sqrt(mi))]^2; adding the charm mass to leptons yields a value only 6 ppm above the ideal 2/5.

  2. Another relation among the neutrino mass-squared differences?

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The ratio (√Δm²31 + √Δm²21)/(√Δm²31 − √Δm²21) is claimed to be exactly √2, implying m1 ≈ 0 and absolute neutrino masses near 0.009 eV and 0.050 eV.
