Abstract
In many grand unified models as well as in many horizontal symmetry schemes fermion mass relations of the form mc/mt/mt,... = mµ/mτ/mL ... = ms/mb/mb, ... are expected. A gauge independent formulation for the effective quark mass based on the momentum substraction scheme is used to compute the naked t-threshold with the result: 2Mt = 51 ± 1 GeV. If the fourth charged lepton is at 30 GeV, the fourth generation quark masses are found to be Mb, ~ 73 ± 3 GeV, Mt, ~ 360 ± 10 GeV.

The relevance of this flavor changing mode at one loop level for producing heavy flavors in Z0-decay was pointed out to me by T. Weiler.

The conventional wisdom is that tt̅ production for Mt ~ 25 GeV will be very difficult to detect in hadronic collisions, e.g. M. Dechantsreiter et al. Phys. Rev. D20 (1979) 2862. There are some recent more optimistic estimates, however.
