چکیده
We investigate the possibility of incorporating a chiral fourth generation into a GUT model. We find that in order to do so, precision fits to electroweak observables demand the introduction of light (< MZ) su-persymmetric particles. This also enables us to provide decay channels to the fourth-generation quarks. Perturbative consistency sets an upper bound on the coloured supersymmetric spectrum. The upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson is calculated and found to be above the present experimental lower limit.

In this letter we reconsider the role of Lorentz invariance in the dynami-cal generation of the observed internal symmetries. We argue that, generally, Lorentz invariance can only be imposed in the sense that all Lorentz non-invariant effects caused by the spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz symmetry are physically unobservable. Remarkably, the application of this principle to the most general rel...

The role of Spaltenstein varieties in the tensor product for GL is explained. In particular a direct (non-combinatorial) proof of the fact that the number of irreducible components of a Spaltenstein variety is equal to a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient (i.e. certain tensor product multiplicity) is obtained.
