Abstract

We discuss in the first part the problem of flavor mixing and calculability of the mixing parameters along the line of naturality group approach in the context of electroweak gauge theories. The second part deals with the flavor unification in SU(7) grand unification models. Projection operator method is applied to give eigenvalues of subgroup branches including those of U(1)’s, from which the hypercharge operators are constructed for all distinct and physically interesting modes of symmetry-breaking. Fermion contents are compared in two different flavor unification schemes of SU(7).
