Chern-Simons fermion model of quarks

摘要

We propose an extension of the standard model where quarks are viewed as fermions with a "bare" integer (weak) hypercharge which is normalized with a fractional part created by a quantized topological Chern-Simons configuration of the weak gauge fields. Consistency with hypercharge patterns not included in the standard model is shown. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. References: 11
