Description

A phenomenological approach for the universal mass matrix model with a broken flavor 2↔3 symmetry is explored by introducing the 2↔3 antisymmetric parts of mass matrices for quarks and charged leptons. We present explicit texture components of the mass matrices, which are consistent with all the neutrino oscillation experiments and quark mixing data. The mass matrices have a common structure for quarks and leptons, while the large lepton mixings and the small quark mixings are derived with no fine-tuning due to the difference of the phase factors. The model predicts a value 2.4x10-3 for the lepton mixing matrix element square U132, and also =(0.89-1.4)x10-4 eV for the averaged neutrino mass which appears in the neutrinoless double beta decay
