Baryon and Lepton Number
Weak hypercharge is related to baryon number - lepton number via:
where X is a GUT-associated conserved quantum number. Since weak hypercharge is also conserved this implies that baryon number minus lepton number is also conserved, within the Standard Model and most extensions.

Famous quotes containing the word number:
“At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
