Abstract

Strong and electroweak interactions may be a relic of the spontaneous breakdown of a chirally symmetric colour-flavour gauge group. The minimum possibility of such a structure that is symmetric between left and right is SU(3) L×SU(3) R×SU(2) L×SU(2) R×U(1) B− L where quantum chromodynamics originates in the chiral colour group SU(3) L×SU(3) R and the electroweak interaction originates in the ambidextrous electroweak interaction group SU L×SU(2) R×U(1) B− L. The chiral anomalies are cancelled by adding a set of fermions that transform as singlets under the weak interaction group SU(2) L×SU(2) R. This model requires only three Higgs representations to break the proposed gauge symmetry to SU(3) C×U(1) em and give masses to all the quarks and leptons of the theory. All fermion masses are “see-saw” masses.
