New $[SU(3)]^4$ Realization of Lepton/Dark Symmetry


Abstract in English

Extending the well-known $SU(3)_C times SU(3)_L times SU(3)_R$ model of quarks and leptons to include a fourth $SU(3)_N$ gauge factor, a new realization is obtained, different from leptonic color, which contains a lepton/dark symmetry with the help of an input $Z_4$ symmetry. It is seen to encompass a previous extension of the standard model to $SU(2)_N$ lepton symmetry.
