Flipped SU(5) - Comparison With The Standard SU(5)

Comparison With The Standard SU(5)

The name "flipped" SU(5) arose in comparison to the "standard" SU(5) model of Georgi-Glashow, in which and quark are respectively assigned to the 10 and 5 representation. In comparison with the standard SU(5), the flipped SU(5) can accomplish the spontaneous symmetry breaking using Higgs fields of dimension 10, while the standard SU(5) requires both a 5- and 45-dimensional Higgs.

The sign convention for U(1)χ varies from article/book to article.

The hypercharge Y/2 is a linear combination (sum) of the of SU(5) and χ/5.

There are also the additional fields 5-2 and containing the electroweak Higgs doublets.

Calling the representations foe example, and 240 is purely a physicist's convention, not a mathematician's convention, where representations are either labelled by Young tableaux or Dynkin diagrams with numbers on their vertices, and is a standard used by GUT theorists.

Since the homotopy group

this model does not predict monopoles. See Hooft-Polyakov monopole.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or standard:

    Intolerance respecting other people’s religion is toleration itself in comparison with intolerance respecting other people’s art.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.
    David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
