- Abstract
In pursuance of finding a viable set of mass matrices, keeping in mind recent precision measurement of quark masses and CKM parameters, we have carried out a detailed and comprehensive analysis of hermitian texture 4 zero quark mass matrices. Our analysis reveals that only Fritzsch like texture 4 zero combination provides a viable set of mass matrices for the present quark mixing data and all other texture 4 zero combinations are ruled out. A good number of these possibilities can be ruled out analytically, the other possibilities are excluded by the present quark mixing data. Interestingly, our conclusions remain valid, even if in future there are perturbations in the ranges of the light quark masses or CKM parameters., Comment: 22 pages, 12 figures
