TOPOLOGICAL BOOTSTRAP PREDICTION OF 3-COLORED 8-FLAVORED QUARKS

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
We describe a topological bootstrap theory of strong interactions that generates baryon number, 3 colors and spin-1/2 confined "quarks" with 8 flavors. Extension to electromagnetism allows the topological objects called "quarks" to be associated with leptons, so 8 leptons are predicted.
