A vacuum in which super-unification preserves quark triplets
A specific vacuum (of the hererotic superstring) is postulated in which
quark-lepton transitions occur only as loop corrections in the asymptotic
limit of QCD. ‘Super-unified’ interactions therefore preserve quark
triplets so that proton decay is not indicated. The vacuum from which
interacting fields emerge is characterized by a specific 3-dimensional
representation of the SU(3) sub-group of SO(6). The proposed model
accounts for exactly three fermionic generations, and becomes a theory by
predicting a new quark - a left-handed (non-strange) version of the strange
quark.
