Should $E_8$ SUSY Yang-Mills be Reconsidered as a Family Unification Model?

Abstract

We review earlier proposals for $E_8$ family unification, and discuss why recent work of Kovner and Shifman on condensates in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories suggests the reconsideration of $E_8$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills as a family unification theory.
