Minimal weak basis textures and quark mixing data
The phenomenology of the most general quark mass matrices with a minimum of three texture zeros obtained through weak basis (WB) transformations has been discussed within the framework of the standard model. The relationship between the textures, naturalness and WB transformations has also been studied. Adopting a ?hierarchical? parameterization for the quark mass matrix, we have detailed exact relations for the various elements of the quark mixing matrix along with the CP asymmetry angle ?, illustrating the?explicit relationship between the observed hierarchies among the WB quark mass matrices and the quark mixing matrix. Besides exploring the complete parameter space available to the (Mq)11, (q = u, d) elements in these mass matrices, their implications for quark mixing data and CP violation asymmetries have also been explored.

INVESTIGATING NON-FRITZSCH-LIKE TEXTURE SPECIFIC QUARK MASS MATRICES
A detailed investigation of all possible textures of Fritzsch-like and non-Fritzsch-like, 144 for texture 6 zero and 432 for texture 5 zero mass matrices, have been carried out to ascertain their compatibility with the existing quark mixing data. It seems that all the texture 6 zero possibilities are completely ruled out whereas in the case of texture 5 zero mass matrices the only viable possibility looks to be that of Fritzsch-like.

Generic lepton mass matrices and neutrino oscillations
Several intriguing aspects of neutrino oscillation phenomenology like the origin of small neutrino masses, the absolute neutrino mass scale, the neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e. normal or inverted and the nature of neutrinos, i.e. Dirac or Majorana, etc. have been addressed from a general perspective. We show how the fundamental considerations of unitary transformations, naturalness and seesaw mechanism suffices to determine the texture structure of fermion Yukawa couplings and discuss the significance of the effective mass in 0{\nu}{\beta}{\beta} decay for the texture structure of these couplings.

Texture specific mass matrices with Dirac neutrinos and their implications
Considering Dirac neutrinos and Fritzsch-like texture six zero and five zero mass matrices, detailed predictions for cases pertaining to normal/inverted hierarchy as well as degenerate scenario of neutrino masses have been carried out. All the cases considered here pertaining to inverted hierarchy and degenerate scenario of neutrino masses are ruled out by the existing data. For the normal hierarchy cases, the lower limit of m{sub {nu}{sub 1}} and of s{sub 13} as well as the range of Dirac-like CP violating phase {delta}{sub l} would have implications for the texture specific cases considered here.

Weak hadronic decays of uncharmed baryons in SU(3)-dynamical considerations
Expressing the non-leptonic decay amplitudes of 1/2+ and 3/2+ baryons in terms of the eigenamplitudes in different channels and assuming intermediate states to be non-exotic. The authors are led to the hypothesis of octet dominance. Assuming the weak Hamiltonian to be symmetric under the s and u channels, they further obtain Sigma ++=0 in s wave and the Lee-Sugawara sum rule in p wave in the SU(3) framework. These assumptions also yield a few extra relations which compare favourably with experiment.

Baryon masses in broken SU(8)
We demonstrate that the mass relations among 1/2/sup +/ baryons predicted in quark models can be obtained in SU(8) symmetry, by adding higher-order effects or by including spin-triplet mass breaking. The masses of 3/2/sup +/ isobars are also discussed.
