Abstract

Based on the thesis that baryons including protons and neutrons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles which the author has previously developed and which has been confirmed by over half a dozen empirically-accurate predictions, we develop a GUT that is rooted in the SU(4) subgroups for the proton/electron and neutron/neutrino which were used as the basis for these predictions. The SU(8) GUT group so-developed leads following three stages of symmetry breaking to all known phenomenology including a neutrino that behaves differently from other fermions, lepto-quark separation, replication of fermions into exactly three generations, the Cabibbo mixing of those generations, weak interactions which are left-chiral, and all four of the gravitational, strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. The next steps based on this development will be to calculate the masses and energies associated with the vacuum terms of the Lagrangian, to see if additional empirical confirmations can be achieved, especially for the proton and neutron and the fermion masses.

Based on the seven independent predictions enumerated in the last section which closely match the empirical nuclear binding and related data based on the thesis that baryons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles, the GUT that we develop here will start with the SU(4)P and SU(4)N gauge groups developed in Sections 7 and 8 of [1], knowing that these groups have been validated by over half a dozen independent pieces of empirical data from nuclear and particle physics

Summary

Introduction

In a recent paper [1], the author introduced the thesis that baryons, including protons and neutrons, are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles. Noting that the deuteron binding energy is extremely close to what is known from best available data to be the mass of the up quark, we further hypothesized that these might be one and the same, which could be explained if the energies released during nuclear fusion are based on some form of “resonant cavity” analysis in which the discreet energies which are observed to be released are based on the masses of the quarks contained within the nucleons and nuclides This led to a prediction that 56Fe has a latent available binding energy of 493.028394 MeV ((12.14) of [1]), which we contrasted to the empirical binding energy of 492.253892 MeV. Based on all of the foregoing, we shall in this paper take SU(4)P and SU(4)N as physically-validated, reliable building blocks for developing a “Grand Unified Theory” (GUT) based on the empirically-confirmed thesis that baryons, including protons and neutrons, are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles
