I discuss some general aspects of diagonalizing the quark mass matrices and list all possible parametrizations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix (CKM) in terms of three rotation angles and a phase. I systematically study the relation between the rotations needed to diagonalize the Yukawa matrices and various parametrizations of the CKM.

  1. Rephasing invariant CP phases and sum rules in TM$_{1,2}$ mixing

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    CP phases φ1,2 in TM1,2 mixing equal rephasing invariants φ1 = -arg[U_e2 U_e3 U_μ1 U_τ1 / U_e1 det U] and φi = δ - arg[U_μi^0 U_τi^0].

  2. Gravitational waves from graviton bremsstrahlung in scalar leptoquark decays

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Scalar leptoquarks in SU(5) GUT produce a stochastic gravitational wave background via graviton bremsstrahlung whose spectrum may be accessible to resonant-cavity detectors.
