Description
Models with fermions in bifundamental representations can lead naturally to family unification as opposed to family replication. Such models typically predict (exotic) color singlet states with fractional electric charge, and magnetic monopoles with multiple Dirac charge. The exotics may be at the TeV scale, and relatively light magnetic monopoles (∼>107 GeV) can be present in the galaxy with abundance near the Parker bound. We focus on three family SU(4) x SU(3) x SU(3) models
