BOSE-FERMI SYMMETRY: A CRUCIAL ELEMENT IN ACHIEVING UNIFICATION

arXiv:hep-ph/9506211

Abstract

This talk is dedicated to honor the memory of Professor S.N. Bose. I survey the crucial roles played by Bose-Fermi symmetry in all recent attempts at higher unification, which include the ideas of (i) the conventional approach to grand unification; (ii) the preonic approach; and (iii) superstrings.
