Description

I examine a simple model of spontaneous family SO(3) and CP violation in which the neutron naturally has a small but measurable electric dipole moment. In addition the model constraints several quark mixing angles and the top quark mass. At tree level the top quark mass satisfies mt≤mbmcKub/mdKcb, where K is the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) matrix and mi is the mass of the i-type quark. The KM element Kub is predicted to approximately equal KcbKcd, and the CP violating phase δ13 is predicted to satisfy cos δ13 ≅ KcbKcd/2Kub + Kub/2KcbKcd [1-(mcmb/mtms)2]. (orig.)
