Abstract

We discuss our recently proposed S3(down)xS3(up) flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables, giving expressions for them in terms of (moduli-squared) of the mixing matrix elements. We outline their successful use in providing flavour-symmetric descriptions of (non-flavour-symmetric) lepton mixing schemes. We develop our partially unified flavour-symmetric description of both quark and lepton mixings, providing testable predictions for CP-violating phases in both B decays and neutrino oscillations.
