Abstract

We present a new Ansatz for the quark mass matrices, in which the correct Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is obtained for an arbitrarily large value of the top-quark mass. Our Ansatz predicts

{| \frac{V_{ub}}{V_{cb}} |}^{2} \approx \frac{m_{u}}{m_{c}}

and

{| \frac{V_{td}}{V_{ts}} |}^{2} \approx \frac{m_{d}}{m_{s}}

. The first prediction is close to the accepted lower bound; the second one may be tested in the near future.
