8 A simple possibility: a spontaneously broken global U(1) symmetry. [Froggatt-Nielsen, 79] Our setup: where L = y d ij + y l ij yn M M n d ij n l ij M n N Q i Hd Rj + y u ij L i Hl Rj + y i MN c R N R h i M ' n u ij = q Q i q uj, >< n d ij = q Q i q dj, n l ij = q L i q lj, n i >: = q L i q N n N = q N q N.

9 A simple possibility: a spontaneously broken global U(1) symmetry. [Froggatt-Nielsen, 79] Then, Quark mass hierarchy as well as CKM angles are naturally explained as e.g., diag(m u ) ( 8, 3, 1)hHi, u,c,t 8 >< q Q = {3, 2, 0}, q u = { 5, 1, 0}, >: q d = { 4, 3, 3}! >< m u ij m >: d ij C A hhi, C A hhi, 4 3 3! >< diag(m d ) ( 7, 5, 3 )hhi, V CKM >: C A d,s,b 8

10 A simple possibility: a spontaneously broken global U(1) symmetry.
