Description

We prove that the proton is stable in the gauge model [SU(6)]3xZ3 which unifies nongravitational forces with flavors, broken spontaneously by a minimal set of Higgs fields and vacuum expectation values down to SU(3)C direct-product U(1)EM. We also compute the evolution of the gauge coupling constants and show how agreement with precision data can be obtained
