  • In this paper, we construct an explicit rephasing transformation that converts an arbitrary unitary mixing matrix into the Fritzsch--Xing (FX) parametrization, which is obtained by trivializing arguments of the matrix elements in the third row and third column. We further analyze rephasing invariant structure of the FX phase $δ_{\rm FX}$ under an approximation $U_{13}^{e} = 0$, where the 1-3 element of the diagonalization matrix of charged leptons $U^{e}$ is neglected. With an additional approximation $U_{23}^{e} = 0$, the FX phase becomes highly simplified, reducing to a sum of the neutrino-intrinsic FX phase $δ^ν_{\rm FX}$ and the contribution from the relative phase $ρ'_{1}- ρ'_{2}$ between the lighter 1-2 generations. The phase $δ_{\rm FX}$ for finite $U_{23}^{e}$ is understood as a generalization of the compact expression. This result covers almost all perturbative calculations of CP phases for the CKM and MNS matrices with hierarchical charged fermions.
