In grand unified theories of the SU(5) or SO(10) type, there is a mass relation predicted between the electron and the down quark, the muon and the strange quark and the tau lepton and the bottom quark called the Georgi–Jarlskog mass relations. The relations were formulated by Howard Georgi and Cecilia Jarlskog.[1]

At GUT scale, these are sometimes quoted as:

me13md
mμ3ms
mτmb

and sometimes as:

mdms9memμ
msmb13mμmτ
