Different ansaetze for the breaking of the flavour permutational symmetry
according to S(3)L X S(3)R in S(2)L X S(2) give different Hermitian mass
matrices of the same modified Fritzsch type, which differ in the symmetry
breaking pattern. In this work we obtain a clear and precise indication on the
preferred symmetry breaking scheme from a fit of the predicted theoretical Vckm
to the experimentally determined absolute values of the elements of the CKM
matrix. The preferred scheme leads to simple mass textures and allows us to
compute the CKM mixing matrix, the Jarlskog invariant J, and the three inner
angles of the unitarity triangle in terms of four quark mass ratios and only
one free parameter: the CP violating phase Phi. Excellent agreement with the
experimentally determined absolute values of the entries in the CKM matrix is
obtained for Phi = 90 deg. The corresponding computed values of the Jarlskog
invariant and the inner angles are J = 3.00 X 10^-5, alpha= 84 deg, beta= 24
deg and gamma =72 deg in very good agreement with current data on CP violation
in the neutral kaon-antikaon system and oscillations in the B-Bbar system.Comment: 21 pages, 1 fig. Content enlarged, references added and typos
