A cosmotopological relation for a unified field theory

Abstract

I present an argument, based on the topology of the universe, why there are three generations of fermions. The argument implies a preferred unified gauge group of SU(5), but with SO(10) representations of the fermions. The breaking pattern $SU(5)\to SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ is preferred over the pattern $SU(5)\to SU(4)\times U(1)$. On the basis of the argument one expects an asymmetry in the microwave data, which might have been detected already.
