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:
“[Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
