%0 Journal Article %T A simple expression of the Jarlskog determinant %A Jihn E. Kim %A Min-Seok Seo %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X Making the whole determinant of the CKM matrix V real, the imaginary part of any one term of the determinant of V (e. g. |Im V_{31}V_{22}V_{13}|) is the Jarlskog determinant J. We also point out that the maximality of the weak CP violation is a physical statement %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.3005v1
