Description
We consider the idea of describing quarks and leptons, and their interactions, in terms of gauged, supersymmetric, generalized, nonlinear sigma models. It is found that the best model is the one based on the Kahler manifold E7/SU(4) x U(1)4, with an appropriate complex structure. The isotropy representation of the manifold is sufficient for embedding three families of quarks and leptons. We also discuss the problem of the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly which so frequently occurs in such models
