Abstract
We present a thorough analysis of U(1) generators in all of the nine possible symmetry-breaking patterns that reduce SU(7) down to . There is one allowed representation that contains three generations of leptons and at least two generations of quarks and satisfies anomaly freedom, reality under and (1), and complexity under . In addition, three other representations, two having only one and two of the three lepton-quark generations complex with respect to , and the other having fractionally charged color singlets in pairs embedded in the fundamental representation [7], are also analyzed for completeness.
