Chern-Simons-fermion model of quarks
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.
