Abstract

Strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces are conjectured to arise from a single fundamental interaction based on the gauge group SU(5).Received 10 January 1974DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.32.438©1974 American Physical Society

Discussions

• Since 2025 is 45 squared, and Georgi and Jarlskog's idea is associated with the use of a Higgs field in the 45-dimensional representation of SU(5), it seems appropriate to say something. The original [stackexchange, 1 points]
