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:
“My tendency to nervousness in my younger days, in view of the fact of a number of near relatives on both my father’s and mother’s side of the house having become insane, gave some serious uneasiness. I made up my mind to overcome it.... In the cross-examination of witnesses before a crowded court-house ... I soon found I could control myself even in the worst of testing cases. Finally, in battle.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
