Chern-Simons-fermion model of quarks
arXiv:hep-ph/0211118 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(02)01989-5
Abstract
We propose an extension of the standard model where quarks are viewed as fermions with a ``bare'' integer (weak) hypercharge which is normalized with a fractional part created by a quantized topological Chern-Simons configuration of the weak gauge fields. Consistency with hypercharge patterns not included in the standard model is shown.
