A nearly historical account of quark mass matrix models is given, and the structure of quark mass matrices in the standard model is studied. For a minimal parameter basis suggested earlier, where Mu is diagonal and Md11, Md13, Md31 are zero, the dependence of mass matrices on the CP violating phase δ of V CKM is reported: all parameters are almost independent, except Md22 and Md23, and the equality |Md22| = Md23 is obtained for a value of δ very close to the value which is favored by experiments. Moreover, on this basis, Md12≃Md21 and Md33≃2Md32. Some comments on mass matrices in left–right symmetric models are added.

We examine supersymmetric contributions to transition magnetic moments of Majorana neutrinos. We first give the general formula for it. In concrete evaluations, informations of neutrino mass matrix elements including CP phases are necessary. Using unambiguously determined neutrino mass matrices in recently proposed minimal supersymmetric SO (10) model, the transition magnetic moments are calculated. The resultant neutrino magnetic moments with the input soft supersymmetry breaking masses being of order 1 TeV are found to be roughly an order of magnitude larger than those calculated in the standard model extended to incorporate the see-saw mechanism.

We present a supersymmetric extension of the standard model where all quark masses and mixing angles except mt are derived as radiative effects induced by the gluino mass. We demonstrate in detail that our model fits well with present data on Vcb and Vub, etc.

The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within most extensions of the standard model, where also relations between quark and lepton sectors may hold. In a seesaw framework, these relations can constrain the scale of heavy neutrino mass, which is often related to the scale of intermediate or unification gauge symmetry. As a consequence, two main scenarios arise. Hierarchies of masses and mixings may be explained by broken horizontal symmetries.

Apart from the qualitative features described in Paper I (Ref. 1), the renormalization group equation derived for the rotation of the fermion mass matrices are amenable to quantitative study. The equation depends on a coupling and a fudge factor and, on integration, on 3 integration constants. Its application to data analysis, however, requires the input from experiment of the heaviest generation masses [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] all of which are known, except for [Formula: see text]. Together then with the theta-angle in the QCD action, there are in all 7 real unknown parameters. Determining these 7 parameters by fitting to the experimental values of the masses [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], the CKM elements [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and the neutrino oscillation angle [Formula: see text], one can then calculate and compare with experiment the following 12 other quantities [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and the results all agree reasonably well with data, often to within the stringent experimental error now achieved. Counting the predictions not yet measured by experiment, this means that 17 independent parameters of the standard model are now replaced by 7 in the FSM.
