SO(10) (physics) - Matter

Matter

The matter representations come in three copies (generations) of the 16 representation. The Yukawa coupling is 10H 16f 16f. This includes a right-handed neutrino. We can either include three copies of singlet representations φ and a Yukawa coupling (see double seesaw mechanism) or add the Yukawa interaction or add the nonrenormalizable coupling . See seesaw mechanism.

Famous quotes containing the word matter:

    We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    No matter which word it is, when I pronounce repeatedly, it ends up sounding utterly ridiculous and meaningless to me.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    As I write, there is a craze for what is called psychoanalysis, or the cure of diseases by explaining to the patient what is the matter with him: an excellent plan if you happen to know what is the matter with him, especially when the explanation is that there is nothing the matter with him.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
