General Determination of Phases in Quark Mass Matrices

Abstract

We construct new invariants and give several theorems which determine in general (i) the number of physically meaningful phases in quark mass matrices and (ii) which elements of these matrices can be rendered real by rephasings. We illustrate our results with simple models.
