On Charge Quantization and Abelian Gauge Horizontal Symmetries

Abstract

Under the assumption that there exists a local gauge horizontal symmetry $G_H$ wich allows only for a top quark mass at tree level, we look for the constraints that charge quatization and the family structure of the standard model imposes on that symmetry.
