To extract sum rules of CKM matrix elements, eigenvalue problems for quasi-democratic mass matrices are solved in the first order perturbation approximation with respect to small deviations from the democratic limit. Mass spectra of up and down quark sectors and the CKM matrix are shown to have clear and distinctive hierarchical structures. Numerical analysis shows that the absolute values of calculated CKM matrix elements fit the experimental data quite well. The order of the magnitude of the Jarlskog parameter is estimated by the relation IJI : : : : : : ,;'i(mc/mt + ms/mb)lVu.12IVcbl/4. §1. Introduction 281 Fundamental fermions, quarks and leptons, exist with a broad mass spectrum, ranging from zero or almost zero masses of neutrinos to 180 GeV of the top quark. Magnitude of the weak Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements 1), 2) tends to decrease rapidly from the diagonal to the off-diagonal direction. It is impossible to explain such hierarchical structures of fundamental fermions within the framework of the standard model. To do so it is necessary to postulate some working hypothesis on the mass matrices from outside of the model.Among various forms of mass matrices, 3) -6) democratic mass matrices with small correction terms explain such hierarchical structures in a simple and systematic way. 7) -19) The calculability of the CKM matrix elements in terms of quark mass ratios is examined under the hypothesis of the universal strength of Yukawa couplings in which all Yukawa coupling constants are assumed to have equal moduli. 15) -18) It was shown that it is possible to find the CKM matrix elements from quasi-democratic mass matrices which are consistent with present experimental data to high accuracy. 19) In this article, sum rules of the CKM matrix elements are extracted from Hermitian quasi-democratic mass matrices which have small deviation terms and phases in off-diagonal elements. For this purpose we solve mass eigenvalue problems in a first order perturbation approximation with respect to small deviations around the democratic limit.We postulate here that mass matrices for up and down quark sectors are quasidemocratic and represented generically in the forms *)
