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:
“I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.... The twelve labors of Hercules were trifling in comparison with those which my neighbors have undertaken; for they were only twelve, and had an end; but I could never see that these men slew or captured any monster or finished any labor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[The Declaration of Independence] meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence, and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
