Abstract

We study all possible U(1)-extensions of the standard model within the framework of noncommutative geometry with the algebra \(\mathbb{H} \oplus \mathbb{C} \oplus \mathbb{C} \oplus M_3 (\mathbb{C}) \). Comparison to experimental data about the mass of a hypothetical \(Z\prime \) gauge boson leads to the necessity of introducing at least one new family of heavy fermions.
