Explaining why the u and d quark masses are similar

Description

An approach is suggested for modeling quark and lepton masses and mixing in the context of grand unified theories that explains the curious fact that mu∼md even though mt>mb. The structure of the quark mass matrices is such as to allow a non-Peccei-Quinn solution of the Strong CP Problem
