Evolution of Yukawa couplings and quark flavor mixings in two universal extra dimension models

The evolution equations of the Yukawa couplings and quark mixings are derived for the one-loop renormalization group equations in six-dimensional models, compactified in different possible ways to yield standard four space-time dimensions. Different possibilities for the matter fields are also discussed, such as the case of bulk propagating or brane localized fields. We discuss in both cases the evolution of the Yukawa couplings, the Jarlskog parameter and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element, and find that for both scenarios, as we run up to the unification scale, significant renormalization group corrections are present. We also discuss the results of different observables of the five-dimensional universal extra dimension model in comparison with these six-dimensional models and the model dependence of the results.
