The unification in an $$ \hat{su}{(8)}_{k_U=1} $$ affine Lie algebra

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A bstract A flavor-unified theory based on the simple Lie algebra of $$ \mathfrak{su} $$ su (8) was previously proposed to generate the observed three-generational Standard Model quark/lepton mass hierarchies and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing pattern due to their non-universal symmetry properties. A level-1 affine Lie algebra of $$ \hat{su}{(8)}_{k_U=1} $$ su ̂ 8 k U = 1 with the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetric extension is found to unify three gauge couplings through the maximally symmetry breaking pattern.
