Abstract

In the previous chapters we have emphasized that while the success of the SU(2) L × U(1) Y × SU(3) C model has indicated that the unified gauge theories are perhaps the right theoretical framework for the study of quark-lepton interactions, it still leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Some of the outstanding questions are:

  1. (a)

    the nature of the Higgs bosons and the origin of electro-weak symmetry breaking;

  2. (b)

    the apparent superfluous replication of quarks and lepton (and even Higgs bosons if electro-weak symmetry is higher); and

  3. (c)

    the origin of fermion masses which are much smaller than the scale of electro-weak symmetry breaking: for instance, m e, u, d ~ 10-5 ⋀ W .
