Description

A possibility of incorporation of the extra QCD-like forces into the unified models of interactions is analyzed. It is shown that this is possible only for models with the naive number of fermion generations gN = O, but thanks to the new QCD-like symmetry, the observable manner of them can be as large as gR = 8. All such models are listed. Then the asymptotic behavior of such theories including the effects of decoupling is investigated. It is found that in none of the unified models the additional strong forces are asymptotically free. This excludes them as possible candidates for technicolor interactions causing dynamical breaking of the standard SU(3)c x SU(2)L x U(1)y model
